Sharpe’s Grysbuck is classified as a pygmy antelope by Safari Club International. They have a noticeably light brown to reddish colouring and white speckles throughout their bodies with a white belly and inner legs. The white speckles help to differentiate them from the similar size and similarly coloured Steenbuck. The males have short erect horns, much shorter than their long ears.
Sharpe’s Grysbuck is found inland away from the coastal Mozambique areas.
Sharpe’s Grysbuck is a solitary nocturnal animal and best hunted during the cooler hours of dawn and dusk. They may be disturbed whilst hunting during the heat of the day whilst sheltering in their resting place and will run away in a crouching position with their heads held low.
Sharpe’s Grysbuck is classified as a species of least concern by the IUCN and no special hunting permits are required. A Mozambican hunting licence must be purchased before the hunt begins.
