A waterbuck stands in tall green grass at the edge of dense bushes, watching the area with an alert posture. It has a gray-brown coat, long ridged horns that curve back, a white muzzle, and a clear white ring on its rump.
This antelope lives in savanna and woodland close to water, and it often stays near cover. It mainly eats grass and may browse leaves when needed. Males can be more solitary and use their horns for display and fights during the breeding season.
