Aspects of the Expressive Behaviour of the Waterhuck Kobus Ellipsiprymnus Ellipsiprymnus in a Rhodesian Game Park

Abstract

Aspects of the expressive behaviour of waterbuck K.e. ellipsiprymnus are described and the results of this study support the contention that K.e. ellipsiprymnus and K.e. defassa are conspecifics. Comparisons with observations on water buck behaviour recorded by other authors show a number of differences as well as similarities in behavior patterns.
