The kob is a graceful antelope that roams the grassy floodplains and savannas of Central, West, and East Africa. It thrives near water, munching on grasses while avoiding the midday heat. You might spot them in Uganda's national parks or the wetlands of South Sudan, often in groups that split by gender.
- They graze on grasses in wet areas, avoiding the hottest part of the day.
- Males and females live in separate groups, usually with 5 to 40 members.
- They share their family tree with reedbucks, waterbucks, and lechwes.
