Waterbuck are robust heavily built antelope with a distinctive
smell. As their name suggests Waterbuck are often found
near some form of permanent water and they make use of
this water when pursued by predators, often right up to
their necks. Waterbuck exhibit much less fear of crocodiles
then most other antelope, although crocodiles do prey
on Waterbuck. Waterbuck are one of the few animals that
feed on the coarse reedy growth in vleis, where the soil
is highly mineralized.
