Waterbuck

The waterbuck (Kobus ellipsiprymnus) is a substantial gazelle discovered generally in sub-Saharan Africa.

Waterbuck stand 120 to 136 cm (47 to 54 in) at the shoulder.[2] Head-and-form length runs from 140 to 240 cm (55 to 94 in) and tail length from 10 to 45 cm (3.9 to 18 in).[3] Males weigh 200–300 kg (440–660 lb) and females 160–200 kg (350–440 lb).[2] Their layers are rosy tan in colour and come to be continuously darker with age; they have a white "kiddie apron" under their throats and white on their posteriors. The waterproofing emissions of the waterbuck's sweat organs produce an obnoxious smell in its meat, unless the creature is cleaned precisely. Consistent with African myth, the meat of the waterbuck is not eatable, yet this is untrue; whilst not particularly delectable, waterbuck venison is protected to consume. The long, winding organized horns, discovered just in guys, clear back and up.
