The puku (Kobus vardonii) is an medium-sized antelope found in wet grasslands in Southern Africa.
Puku stand about 80 cm at the shoulder and weigh from 70 to 80 kg. The puku is sandy brown in colour, with the underbelly a slightly lighter brown. The coat is rougher than the similar-sized southern reedbuck, lechwe or impala, or the smaller oribi. Males have 50-cm-long, ridge-structured horns which are very vaguely lyre-shaped.
