Bongo

The Bongo is one of the largest and most colorful forest antelopes, with a distinctive chestnut-red coat and 10 to 16 vertical white stripes.  Bongos have two heavy and slightly spiraled horns that slope over their backs. Bongo males have larger backswept horns, while females have smaller, thinner, and more parallel horns.  The horns of bongos twist once.

Bongos are shy and typically live alone, in pairs, or very small groups.  They can be moody and will readily attack if cornered.
