The Mountain Reedbuck is a medium-sized, graceful and shy antelope. Rams attain a mass of about 32 Kg and measure 750mm at the shoulder. Ewes are smaller at 30 Kg. The fur is predominantly grey, but the head and shoulders are reddish-brown. It has a fluffy white tail and striking white underparts. Forward-curved horns are only found on rams. This species has long narrow ears. When it runs with its characteristic rocking gait, with its tail up, it shows the white underside. They occur in small herds of three to eight individuals, though up to 30 have been seen together. The larger groups seem to be temporary as they will disperse into smaller units when disturbed.
