Waterbuck (Kobus ellipsiprymnus)
Explanation:
será «Inhacoso» (?) - espécie de antílope de Moçambique (?)
(Piva ou Namudoro)
O Inhacoso têm uma glândula na pele que torna o seu pelo impermeável. Quando feridos ou cercados por caçadores, os Pivas podem-se tornar extremamente agressivos, atacando ferozmente o adversário. Mesmo quando adolescentes, quando capturados à mão são os lutadores mais determinados entre todas espécies dos antílopes.
