Bongos: Not Just a Wimpy Little Drum

By now I’m sure you are well aware that my favorite animal is the giraffe, followed closely by it’s only relative, the okapi. Before I showed you the okapi, most of you had never heard of it before. Well, allow me to introduce you to another animal you probably have never heard of, another one of my very favorite animals, the Bongo.

One thing I really love about them is their little “Mohawks.”

I love their coats. I love the stripes, and the fact that they are almost an orange color. You don’t see very many other orange mammals.

I also love their eyes.

I love Bongos so much that I will have a second post right in a row, tomorrow, dedicated to them as well. Here’s a preview of exactly why I’m doing another post. :)

  1. I had never heard of Bongos! Maybe I've seen them on "Nature" or something. Where do they come from? I'm looking forward to your calf post. :)

  2. Bongos are a type of forest antelope from Africa. Aren't they awesome? :) My Baby Bongo post is almost ready. :)
