Bohor

/boʊˈhɔːr/ noun

Definition

A small reddish antelope found in parts of Africa, related to the reed buck.

Etymology

From Arabic bu-hawār or similar, referring to a wild goat or antelope. The term was adopted into English through colonial contact with African and Middle Eastern wildlife terminology.

Kelly Says

The bohor antelope is so specialized for reed and tall grass habitats that it's almost invisible in its environment—poachers and scientists often miss them even when they're only yards away.
