Bongo Calf
Tragelaphus eurycerus (calf)
Bongo calves are born in dense central African forests, where they remain hidden in thick vegetation during their earliest weeks. They nurse from their mother and gradually begin nibbling leaves and tender shoots. Their reddish-brown newborn coat helps them blend into the dim forest floor before the adult striping becomes pronounced.
