The Common waterbuck, a large antelope native to East Africa's savannahs and woodlands, is easily recognizable by the white ring on its rump. This distinct feature aids calves in following their mothers. Male waterbucks boast long, spiral horns utilized in dominance battles during mating season. Emitting an oily, musky scent, waterbucks use this secretion for waterproofing and deterring predators. While primarily grazers, they may resort to browsing in dry periods. Renowned for their swimming abilities, waterbucks adeptly seek refuge in water to evade predators. Their affinity for water-rich environments positions them as frequent sights near rivers and lakes during safari adventures. #WildlifeFacts #AntelopeSpecies #NatureEncounters #AfricanAnimals #GameDrive #WildlifeWatching #SafariKenya #EastAfricaWildlife #SavannahLife #paulsafariguide #kwezisafaris https://www.kwezisafaris.com/
