  Bongo (antelope) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The bongo belongs to the genus "Tragelaphus", which includes the Sitatunga (Tragelaphus spekeii), the Nyala (Tragelaphus angasii), the Bushbuck (Tragelaphus scriptus), the Mountain Nyala (Tragelaphus buxtoni), the Lesser Kudu (Tragelaphus imberbis) and the Greater Kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros).
A bongo is further catalogued into one of the two subspecies- "Tragelaphus eurycerus eurycerus", the lowland or "Western Bongo" and "Tragelaphus eurycerus isaaci", the mountain or "Eastern Bongo".
The scientific name of the bongo (Tragelaphus eurycerus) is acquired from Greek words "Tragelaphus", which is devired from the Greek words "Trago" (a he-goat), and "elaphos", (a deer), in combination referring to "an antelope", and the word "Eurycerus", which is orginated from the fusion of "eurus" (broad, widespeard) and "keras" (an animal's horn).

 Mountain nyala
Threats to survival are primarily a reduction in range due to human encroachment, as well as disturbance by humans, involving the occupation of suitable areas by livestock and the constant passage of people through the habitat (Brown, 1969a; Brown 1969b).
Finally, due to strong similarities between the mountain nyala and member of both the genus Strepsiceros and the genus Tragelaphus, it was proposed that the two genera be merged, removing Lydekker's dilemma (Lydekker, 1911).

 Locking Horns with the Greater Kudu
The greater kudu, Tragelaphus streptsiceros, is an artiodactyl apparently very susceptible to oral transmission of BSE an possibly to lateral and/or maternal transmission: a 19-month-old greater kudu, whose dam had died of a BSE-like disorder 15 months earlier, itself had not been exposed to ruminant-derived feed.
The affected animals have comprised members of the family Bovidae: one nyala (Tragelaphus angasi), four eland (Taurotragus oryx), and six greater kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros), one gemsbok (Oryx gazella), one Arabian oryx (Oryx leucoryx), and one scimitar-horned oryx (Oryx dammah), and members of the family Felidae: four cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) and one puma (Felis concolor).

These are the large and elusive antelope characterized by outrageously impressive spiraled horns in the males, and lovely camouflaged patterns in the females.
The Greater Kudu is the largest of the seven Tragelaphus (although the closely related Gedemsa of Ethiopia is virtually the same size).

 San Diego Zoo's Animal Bytes: Antelope
Each hoof has a split down the middle, dividing the hoof into two “toes.” Because they live in wetlands and swamps, sitatungas Tragelaphus spekeii have wide hooves up to 7 inches (18 centimeters) across that help them walk on mud and mats of plants without slipping.
The majority of antelope use the hiding approach, like elands, greater kudu Tragelaphus strepsiceros, roan antelope Hippotragus equinus, waterbucks, klipspringers, and duikers.
In some species that live in groups the mother, called a dam, goes away from the herd to give birth, and when the calf is strong enough, she moves it to another location where there are bushes, long grasses, rocks, or a thicket to hide the youngster from predators.
