... Nice animal view... widespread across Zambia, the Bushbuck is considered to be the least social of the antelopes and has a very small home range... Bushbucks do indeed live up to their name, preferring dense bush or forest thickets that provide good cover... but as with so many animals, populations are declining due to poaching and habitat loss... however, they remain common in many parts of their range and are considered by many to be one of the most beautiful African antelopes... Thanks Alena!ヽ(•‿•)ノ
From backside postcard:
"We live on a beautiful planet, please do what you can to care and protect wildlife for your children's children."The Bushbuck has a shoulder height of 90 cm and weighs 45 to 80 kg. It usually has white prints all over the body, particularly in the chin, ears, legs, tail, and neck. Its muzzle is also white in color. When a young male reaches 10 months old, it will grow horns that form a spiral over time.
Kafue National Park is the oldest and largest of Zambia’s national parks. It covers a massive 22,400 km2. First established as a National Park in the 1950’s by the legendary Norman Carr, Kafue is one of the largest national parks in the whole of Africa, home to 152 different species of mammals.
