Field Notes

Description:

The bushbuck is the most widespread antelope in Sub-Saharan Africa, and is found in rain forests, montane forests, forest-savanna mosaics and bush savannaforest and woodland. The bushbuck ram is regarded by sports hunters as the most dangerous medium-size antelope, as it will hide in the bush after being wounded and charge the hunter when he comes looking for it, impaling the hunter with its sharp horns.

Thanks, JP, for the ID! They all look the same to me :D I spotted them close to each other so I thought they're the same kind.
The first photo is of a Bushbuck doe, the next three are Impala
