The bovid subfamily Reduncinae or tribe Reduncini[1] is composed of nine species of antelope, all of which dwell in marshes, floodplains, or other well-watered areas, including the waterbucks and reedbucks.[2] These antelopes first appear in the fossil record 7.4 million years ago in Eurasia and 6.6 Mya in Africa.
