As browsers, they feed on leaves, bushes, vines, and occasionally bark or pith of rotting trees.
The species is generally divided into two distinct subspecies based on their geographic range and conservation status:
Lyre-shaped, spiraling horns that can grow quite large. Unlike many other antelope species, both males and females possess horns. Habitat and Behavior
Found in the lowland rainforests of West and Central Africa. Their populations are considered relatively stable compared to their eastern counterparts.
They are susceptible to diseases such as rinderpest, which historically decimated their populations.
They are known to frequent natural mineral licks (salt licks) to supplement their diet with essential minerals, often following established elephant paths to reach these sites.
