{{TFAIMAGE|Tragelaphus scriptus (male).jpg}} '''[[Bushbuck]]s''' are the most widespread antelope in Sub-Saharan Africa.  Two species are recognised, the '''kéwel''' (''Tragelaphus scriptus'') and the '''imbabala''' (''Tragelaphus sylvaticus''). 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}}  
{{TFAIMAGE|Giraffa camelopardalis thornicrofti.jpg}} The '''[[Rhodesian giraffe]]''' (''Giraffa tippelskirchi,'' formerly ''Giraffa thornicrofti''), also known as '''Thornicroft’s giraffe''', is a giraffe currently deemed synonymous with the Luangwa giraffe, and is a conspecific ecotype of the Masai giraffe. It is considered to be geographically isolated, occurring only in Zambia. Rhodesian giraffes are tall with very long necks. They have long, dark-colored tongues and skin-colored horns. {{TFAFULL|Rhodesian giraffe}}
