The kob is similar in appearance to the impala,
but the two species are not related. The Ugandan kob generally is reddish-brown, but other
subspecies range from light brown to almost
black. The underside of the body is white, a
white ring appears around each eye, and a
white patch or chevron appears on the throat;
a black stripe runs down the front of each
foreleg. Horns occur only in males, and though
lyre-shaped, they are shorter, thicker and ringed
almost to the tip.
Kobs are ecologically restricted, preferring
low-lying flats or gently rolling country free of
seasonal extremes and close to permanent
water. The social structure of the kob is based
on small herds that come together into larger
groups of up to 1,000 animals. These large
groups will contain 30 to 40 breeding males that
hold territories. Like many other antelope species, breeding only occurs within areas controlled by an individual territorial male. But the
kob, unlike other antelopes, has taken the
system a step further by establishing permanent
breeding grounds, some of which have been in
continuous use for at least 50 years.
Closely spaced breeding territories where almost
all mating takes place are called leks. Lekking

grounds, usually located on a knoll or elevated
area near water, are roughly circular in shape and
from 20 to 100 yards in diameter. Different males
occupy these areas throughout the year. Females
move freely over the general area, but when they
are in heat they go directly to the breeding
grounds to mate.

..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Facts about the Kob

Three or four of the innermost territories seem to be
the most sought after by the females, where activity is intense. Apparently it is the concentrated
deposits of hormone-rich urine that attracts them,
rather than a specific male. The holder of a territory
is constantly being challenged. If he loses his territory, either through a fight or by leaving it to graze or
drink, he joins a bachelor herd of males. When he
recovers his strength, he will try to regain his territory.
The pre- and post mating behavior of kobs is also
different from that of other antelopes. The male is
not as rough with the female and does not attempt
to force her to stay within his territory-rather he
appears to try gently to convince her. He makes
soft noises during courtship play, repeatedly whistling through his nostrils after mating. The sound
carries across the breeding grounds and may be
echoed by the other territorial males.
Kobs often associate with larger animals such as
hippos, buffalos, topis and hartebeests. These
animals help keep the grass short, as the kob
prefers. Like reedbucks and waterbucks, kobs
develop attachments to particular localities, returning to the same grazing areas and watering places
day after day, season after season.
The single newborn is suckled for 6 to 7 months and
at the time of weaning has reached half of adult
size. Young males begin to grow their horns at 5
months, and by 1 year the horns are about as long
as the ears. Kobs become sexually mature
between 13 and 14 months, but a male will not be
active in the breeding grounds until he is 3 or 4
years old, when he has become strong enough to
vie for a territory. Compiled by PPJ

Club Destadia July 2017 Key Highlights
On 13th July 2017 the club in partnership with our
sponsor club RC Bweyogerere Namboole visited both

Balondemu, PAG Sam Nsiyona, PAG Ben Waira, PE
Florence Waira, Rtn James Byansi and Rctr Njuki Allan
Joshua. The negotiations were successful and the
program will commence in December Rotary club of
Hoima being the first host.
The club hosted the District Rotaract Representative
Amiina Nasaazi for her official visit on 14.07.2017. We
had a series of events which took place during that
fellowship. Firstly the club made an excellent presentation by CP Joshua Ngobi depicting on what transpired in the previous year and the key goals in this
new Rotary year, in her remarks DRR Amina Nasaazi
applauded the club for our incredible performance
exhibited last year and our presentation showcased
that day. She hinted on the following issues to be
executed by the club this year. These included the
following;

to keep united and strong as we make a difference

various district and country
officials, Rotary, Rotaract

guests. We had a climax
