Bongo
Bongo are one of the largest African forest Antelope species. They have a reddish-brown (chestnut) coat, black and white markings, white-yellow stripes and long slightly spiraled horns. The stripes help to camouflage the species. Coats of the Male Bongo get darker with age. There are 10-15 vertical stripes that spread along the back from the base of the neck to the rump. The number of stripes is rarely the same on both sides. It also has a short, bristly, brown ridge of dorsal hair from the shoulder to the rump. The white stripes run into the ridge. Bongos have 2 heavy, slightly spiraled horns that slope over their backs. Bongos are found in the tropical jungles with dense undergrowth.
