Everything about The Puku totally explained
The
Puku (
Kobus vardonii) is an
antelope found in wet
grasslands in southern
Democratic Republic of Congo and in
Zambia.
Puku stand about 80 centimetres at the shoulder and weigh from 70 to 80 kilograms. Puku are sandy brown in colour, the underbelly is a slightly lighter brown. Their coat is rougher than the similar-sized
Southern Reedbuck,
Lechwe or
Impala, or the smaller
Oribi. Males have around 50 centimetre long ridge structured horns which are very vaguely lyre-shaped.
Puku are found almost exclusively in
marshy grassland and
dambos where they eat
grass. Puku are
crepuscular, they're active in the early morning and late afternoon. When scared, Puku repeat a shrill whistle sound. Females gather in
herds of up to twenty individuals. During the rainy season many herds will come together for added safety, typically reaching around fifty females. Males hold
territories and attempt to persuade herds of females to stay within their territories for as long as possible.
