Grysbuck - Cape

The Cape or southern grysbok (Raphicerus melanotis) is a small antelope with a rough, reddish sandy coat flecked in white. The head, neck and legs are less flecked and somewhat yellowish, while the inside of the ears, eye-rings, mouth area, throat and underside are white. There is a black "bridge" to the nose and a dark scent gland in front of the eye. Males have short, sharp, straight horns about 8 cm long, which are smooth. The Cape grysbok can fluff out the fur at its rear end to make itself look bigger, although it has a short and almost invisible tail.
