The Kob (''Kobus kob'') is an antelope found across Sub-Saharan AfricaWest Africa.
Kob stand 70 to 100 centimetres at the shoulder and weigh from 80 to 100 kilograms. Their backs are an orange-red colour, which lightens to white on the undersides and legs, there are white rings around the eyes and a black stripe down the legs. The short ringed horns are around 50 centimetres and arch out slightly so that they are somewhat 'S' shaped in profile, they are found only in males.
Kob are found in any wet area (such as Floodplain) where they eat grass. Kob are diurnal, but inactive during the heat of the day. They live in groups of either females and calves or just males. These groups range from five to forty animals but in some places groups of over a thousand are known. Males are territorial and in some areas are found patroling circular territories less than thirty metres across surrounded by other males guarding similar territories, these groups of territories are called ''leks'' and rarely contain more than fifteen animals. The male patrols the border of the territory whistling loudly and may only hold the territory for a week before moving on typically with several other members of the lek.
