The Bohor reedbuck is a medium-sized antelope found in Central Africa, with more of the population occurring in the eastern region of Central Africa, versus the western region of Central Africa. Their status by the IUCN is that of “least concern” making them a plausible target for African hunts while hunting in the wild. Their numbers are, however, decreasing due to poachers, game hunters, and loss of habitat.

Their preferred habitat includes moist grasslands, swamplands, as well as woodland areas, where females form herds of up to 10 animals. The Bohor reedbuck is herbivorous and is known to graze with other antelopes, including the hartebeest, topi, puku, and kob. Their diet consists of grasses, along with leaf and reed shoots and they are water-dependent.

Their coat color allows them to camouflage themselves well amongst the vegetation and if threatened, they stand motionless, making them very difficult to spot. Alternatively, they will stand still assessing the danger, then slowly retreat into the cover if close, whistling to the other members of the herd to alert them of danger.

Their predators include lions, hyenas, Nile crocodiles, African wild dogs, and spotted hyenas.
