アメリカ自然史博物館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (アメリカ自然史博物館Instagram)「Meet the bongo (Tragelaphus eurycerus)! No, not the musical instrument: This animal is an African ungulate with a distinctive striped coat and large spiraling horns! The bongo is an herbivore that feeds on leaves, bushes, and shoots, but also on the bark of rotting trees. In fact, this species has even been observed eating burned wood after lightning storms: Scientists think this behavior helps the bongo supplement its diet with extra salt and minerals. Unfortunately, this animal faces population declines due to human activity including poaching and habitat loss.
