Talk:Kob

Behavior

Added section on behavior. I mainly wanted to capture Ardrey's observations; editors are encouraged to fill this out with more balanced, contemporary information. --Coloradoauthor 00:15, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Front Page Reference

I don't get it. The front page Did You Know makes references to this article that don't occur in the artcle. -->...that the female kob (pictured) (and over 200 other mammals) display homosexual behavior including oral sex, genital stimulation, and urolagnia? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.232.226.99 (talk) 01:17, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Image from this article to appear as POTD soon

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Ugandan kobs (Kobus kob thomasi) female and calf.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on 18 December 2018. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2018-12-18. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. Thanks  — Amakuru (talk) 15:48, 13 December 2018 (UTC)

Picture of the day

The kob (Kobus kob) is an antelope found across Central Africa and parts of West Africa and East Africa. It is closely related to the reedbucks and waterbucks and similar in appearance to the impala but more heavily built. Kob have few strong social bonds, but females can live in herds numbering in the thousands. Males are generally territorial, although on densely-populated floodplains some males live in clustered territories known as leks.

This picture shows a female and calf of the Ugandan kob (K. kob thomasi) in the Semliki Wildlife Reserve, Uganda. This subspecies appears on the coat of arms of Uganda.Photograph: Charles J Sharp
