Bongo Fun Fact: A fun fact about the bongo, a striking and elusive forest antelope, is that both males and females have spiraled horns! This is unusual among antelope species, where typically only males have horns. Bongos use their long, spiraled horns to help them navigate through dense forest undergrowth by tilting their heads back, keeping the horns close to their bodies to avoid getting tangled in branches.
