Waterbuck — size comparison — facts and sources
The waterbuck is a substantial antelope of moist savannas and grassy valleys with permanent water. The ellipsiprymnus form has a white ring on the rump.
It chiefly eats grasses, supplemented by herbs. Females form loose herds, while mature males defend territories. Usually near rivers and lakes, it may escape into water when threatened by predators.
