Bongo  (Tragelaphus eurycerus)

Found from West Africa and the Congo Basin to the Central African Republic and southern Sudan (6), with small isolated populations of the eastern or mountain bongo (T. e. isaaci) in Kenya. The mountain bongo used to occur in the Mau Forest and Mount Kenya National Park, but is now believed to be extinct in these areas. A few remain in the Aberdares Conservation Area (7).

The bongo predominantly inhabits lowland forests across most of its range, although it is found up to an altitude of 4,000 metres in the montane forest regions of East Africa, usually in tropical rainforest with dense undergrowth (2) (3) (6).
