Reedbuck 2

When there is danger the does retreat first followed by the bucks. Bounding across the plains they try to make a quick escape. Common reedbucks form small herds which number approximately a dozen members. As a herd they travel across the open land, grazing and browsing. Lambs are born throughout the year. For protection the lamb must lie motionless until it has grown. The 3 species of reedbucks are found in the region north of the Sahara in Africa. [BM] {FW}
