Description

Reedbucks are native to the open grasslands and savannas of eastern and southern Africa. Recognized by their slightly arched horns and sandy-brown coats, these antelopes are most active during twilight hours and are known for their sharp whistling alarm call. Reedbucks prefer habitats with tall grasses, which offer both food and cover from predators. Their diet consists mainly of grasses and herbs, making them vital grazers in the African ecosystem.
