Reedbucks are easily distinguished from other reedbucks by their long, thin, and widely diverging horns (females are hornless). Thin transverse ridges occur along most of the horn length; the tips curve inward, but do not form a strong hook. Typical horn length in mature males is 33-40 cm. The amount of divergence varies widely, averaging

Reedbuck inhabits grassy savannas and floodplains. Areas dominated by Hyparrhenia grasses are frequented during December (wet season); Oryza communities closer to deep swamps are used as the dry season progresses (through March). Average population densities across available habitat are generally 0-3-0-6 ind/km?, but localized densities of 63 ind/km* have been recorded during the wet season. Concentrations may reach 110 ind/km?® during the late dry season; the long horns of males are thought to correlate with increased competition resulting from sustained high population densities.

Reedbuck feeds primarily on grass; fecal analysis indicates the diet contains, on average, 88% grass, 9% forbs, and 3% shrubs. Species consumed include the sedge Cyperus laevigatus and Echinochloa grasses. Hyparrhenia grasses are also thought to be a principal food source, based on availability and the preferences of the related Bohor Reedbuck.

Breeding is likely seasonal, but remains poorly studied. Young have been observed accompanying adults in February (the dry season), and are likely born several months earlier. Other aspects are presumably similar to the Bohor Reedbuck.

Reedbucks are resident in certain areas year-round, this species is generally migratory; seasonal movements are driven by changing water levels and vegetation abundance. During the rainy season, when forage is plentiful and water levels are high,

Reedbuck disperses across floodplains. At this time, the species tends to live alone or small groups of 2-5 individuals, although herds of 10-30 are also regularly seen. Average group size increases as individuals concentrate closer to permanent water sources during the dry season, when aggregations of over 100 animals have been recorded. During the dry season in Dinder National Park,

Reedbuck uses the typical predator avoidance strategy of reedbucks: freezing in position, crouching low to the ground, or slowly retreating into cover when a potential threat is detected.
