Antelopes of Sudan

This book dives into the daily routines of the defassa waterbuck (Kobus ellipsiprymnus defassa) in Sudan's Dinder National Park. Dinder National Park is a crucial biosphere reserve and home to a rich variety of antelope species, with over 70 residing in sub-Saharan Africa alone.The book is based on extensive fieldwork conducted in the park and offers the very first in-depth examination of the waterbuck's social structure within the Dinder National Park. This investigation encompasses social behaviors, daily activities, courtship rituals, and mating displays across five different meadows.A fascinating aspect of the study is the discovery of significant variations in the waterbuck's daily activities. These variations occur between years, months, and even throughout a single day, and differ based on the specific meadow they inhabit.The book is intended for a wide audience, including wildlife conservationists, researchers, students in relevant fields, and even curious laypeople interested in animal behavior.
