The Nigerian Reedbuck has thick golden-fawn fur, a white underside, and a dark stripe on the front of each foreleg. It uses grassland and wooded savanna near permanent water. Its species account records it in Nigeria, northern Cameroon, southern Chad, the Central African Republic, and the adjacent northern edge of the DR Congo.
Its thick coat is golden fawn, usually richer along the midline of the back, with white underparts. A dark stripe marks the front of each foreleg; pale fur rings the eyes, lips, lower jaw, and upper throat. A round, pale gray bare patch lies below each ear. The short, bushy tail is fawn or sometimes dark above and white below. Only males have horns; they are ringed, stout at the base, sweep back, then hook sharply inward and forward. Females have a thinner neck and no horns.
It uses grasslands and wooded savannas near permanent water, especially along watercourses.
