KZN Wildlife - Wildlife Management Bushbuck (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20) |
 | | The bushbuck is one of the most widely distributed antelopes in KwaZulu-Natal, and enjoys popularity with hunters as well as with those who are happy merely to have them on their properties. |
 | | Bushbuck eat mainly leaves and soft stems or shoots of trees, shrubs and forbs (small broad leafed plants), while ferns, flowers, fruits, fungi and grass are minor items in the diet. |
 | | As bushbuck are solitary, the chances of adult males and females coming into contact with eachother when the female is in oestrus are slim, and if there are too many females and too few males, then the chances of all females conceiving becomes even slimmer. |
