Common African Waterbuck

Shaka Loc: Brisbane, Australia
 
Waterbuck stand 120 to 136 cm (47 to 54 in) at the shoulder. Males way 200-300 kg and females 160 to 200 kg. The waterproofing secretions of the waterbuck's sweat glands produce an unpleasant door in its meat, unless the animal is skinned carefully. According to African myth, the meat of the waterbuck is not edible, but this is untrue-whilst not especially tasty, waterbuck venison is safe to eat. The long spiralled-structured horns, found inly in males, sweep back and up. Source : wikipedia. Brian :thumbup:
