Rhodesia Philately: 1974 Third Definitive Issue – 5c Bushbuck

Bushbuck (Tragelaphus scriptus): The bushbuck delights in thick bush and forest areas, and in riverine vegetation in mountainous country. It is common along the Eastern border forestry estates, and may be found in dense shady places along streams in the Chimanimani National Park where its sudden loud bark and sound of departing hooves is all that the visitor will know of it. It is a courageous fighter during mating time.
