Tragelaphus eurycerus, commonly known as the bongo, is a large forest antelope native to the dense rainforests of Central and West Africa. Distinguished by its striking reddish-brown coat, adorned with white stripes, bongos possess long, spiraled horns, which are present in both males and females. They exhibit nocturnal behavior, feeding on leaves, bushes, and grasses, and play a vital role in seed dispersal within their ecosystem.

Tragelaphus eurycerus, commonly known as the Bongo, is native to the dense forests of central and western Africa. Its geographical distribution includes countries such as Cameroon, Central African Republic, Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Gabon, and parts of Kenya.

The Bongo inhabits tropical rainforest regions that are characterized by dense vegetation and a humid climate. These areas typically have a high annual rainfall and a warm, stable temperature range. The Bongo prefers areas with thick underbrush, which provide ample cover from predators and abundant food sources.

The Bongo is primarily a browser, feeding on leaves, bushes, vines, bark, grasses, and roots. It plays a crucial role in its ecosystem by aiding in seed dispersal through its diet. Bongos are mostly nocturnal and crepuscular, meaning they are most active during the night and twilight hours, which helps them avoid predators and human activity.
