General		Common Reedbuck are an antelope of the open grass plains, often found near water. They usually occur in groups of 3 - 6 animals or are solitary. Territories are occupied by pairs that communicate by the species characteristic whistling call. They tend to prefer to graze at night when food in abundant, but can often be seen in the late afternoon or early morning. When left undisturbed, they will become very tame often venturing into farmers gardens at night.
