Bongo lives in pairs or small groups. Old bulls live alone. They walk easily through dense undergrowth and may run at a considerable speed. Entirely browsers, they feed on leaves and shoots of shrubs and creepers. Very shy, and with excellent hearing, they move to dense cover during the heat of the day
