Variant or archaic spelling of bushbuck, a small African antelope with stripes and a stocky build.
From Dutch 'bosbuck' or German 'Busch' (bush) combined with 'buck' (male deer). The variant spellings reflect different transliterations from Dutch colonial sources.
The bushbuck is remarkably territorial and aggressive for its size—males will fiercely defend their patches of forest, sometimes attacking large predators, earning them respect among African wildlife observers.
