Hey there is a formatting issue that I saw, it confused me for a minute so I will just point it out here so maybe it can be fixed. Under "K. e. ellipsiprymnus" The "Includes the following four subspecies:" is in the same level of indent. Under "K. e. defassa (defassa waterbuck) group" the line "Includes the following subspecies:" takes an indent backwards. This makes it appear not under that specifically, but it is. So that line needs to be indented to the right a bit. - 2601:4C1:C57F:F70:4D18:32EF:70A1:930F ( talk) 12:18, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

I've seen Waterbuck in East Africa ( Kenya, to be specific), but the article currently mentions only Western, Central Africa and Southern Africa. Should East Africa be added? — Matt Crypto 00:48, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

We agree. There are different subspecies of waterbuck found in different areas, but they certainly live in East Africa. Mehmet Karatay 18:03, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

We need a section on Waterbuck's meat and it's preparation. -- 41.151.7.141 ( talk) 18:05, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

It is commonly said that waterbuck can excrete a foul smell from somewhere around the white ring on their bum. This is apparently the reason why lions so seldom hunt them. Are there any sources to support this? -- Michael ( talk) 08:06, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

I could not find any sources mentioning this fact. In fact, they list the lion as a major predator of the waterbuck. Sainsf <^> _{Talk all words} 11:01, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

I checked my book on South African wildlife. They mention that it is a common misconception that the musk odor they produce deter lions.-- Michael ( talk) 10:43, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
