  antelope (Cobus ellipsiprymnus) belonging to the subfamily Cervicaprinae, characterized by the
white
  elliptical ring on the buttocks, and the

long
  and coarse
hair
 . They have
heavily fringed necks and tufted tails; the bucks carry

refuge
  from pursuit in the water. The name is ex-tended to include the sing-sing or defassa waterbuck (C. defassa), a wides p read species, without the
white
  ring on the buttocks, and
represented by several local races, one of which is foxy red while a second is greyish. Both species equal in size the red deer. The smaller members of the genus Cobus (which is exclusively
