Both species are more closely related to other members of the tragelaphine family than to each other. The kéwel is a smaller animal, with a mainly red or yellow ground colour. It is conspicuously striped and patterned and there is little to no sexual dimorphism with respect to ground colouration. {{TFAFULL|Bushbuck}}
