Tragelaphus Scriptus is also commonly known as the "bushbuck," which is a medium-sized antelope that inhabits forests and woodlands across sub-Saharan Africa. Other synonyms for this species include the "harnessed antelope" and the "roodebok." The bushbuck's distinctive coat varies in color from reddish-brown to grey-brown, with white spots on its flanks. Both males and females have spiral horns that curve slightly backwards. The bushbuck is an adaptable and elusive animal that feeds on a variety of vegetation and can thrive in human-altered landscapes such as farmland and plantations. Despite being hunted for its meat and hide, the species is listed as "Least Concern" by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature.
