The kob is similar in appearance to
the impala, but the two species are not related. The Ugandan kob
generally is reddish-brown, but other subspecies range from light
brown to almost black. The underside of the body is white, a white
ring appears around each eye, and a white patch or chevron appears on
the throat; a black stripe runs down the front of each foreleg. Horns
occur only in males, and though lyre-shaped, they are shorter, thicker
and ringed almost to the tip |
