Puku


Found in Zambezi Valley, these furry orange antelope with thick, heavily ringed V shaped horns, are gregarious and graze along the floodplain's near permanent water.
They have limited distribution in Africa, confined to the area drained by the Zambezi and its tributaries and a few isolated pockets in Tanzania.
They move in herds of up to thirty or so but prefer to stay close to water
The social system is centralised on adult males maintaining and defending territories which accord them breading opportunities amongst wondering female herds. The Puku is predominantly a grazing specie.
