The Eastern or Moutain Bongo of Kenya is an extremenly rare antelope. Theses antelope are only found in one remote region of Keyna. Bongos are the largest and heaviest antelope and are recognizable by their stripes and spiraled horns. In the 1890’s, the disease rinderpest almost exterminated the species. They havea  bright reddish-brown color and have very clear, white-yellow stripes and black markings. 

The animal orphanage at Mount Kenya has had a very successful breeding program that has brought back more bongos in captivity than are our in the wild. They said there are currently less than 100 of these animals.
