Description
The reedbuck (Redunca spp.) is a graceful antelope native to the grasslands and savannas of Africa. Recognized for its sleek, tawny coat and distinctive crescent-shaped horns, the reedbuck thrives in moist habitats near rivers and tall grasses. It plays a crucial role in the ecosystem by grazing on fresh vegetation and serving as prey for large African predators. Known for its distinctive high-pitched whistle when alarmed, the reedbuck is a symbol of alertness and adaptability in the wild.
