The bushbucks featured in The Lion Guard appear to be Cape bushbucks. Their fur can be varying shades of brown, from yellowish brown to russet. White vertical stripes run down their sides, breaking up into white spots near their underbellies. Their chests are sliced across with a horizontal white stripe. They all have a line of dark fur running down their back and dark markings on their faces. Males have 25 - 50 cm horns.

The bushbucks in The Lion Guard all have brown fur, darker along their backs. They have the same white patterning as real life bushbucks, as well as the same mask markings on their faces. Most have additional pale spots on their faces.
==Information==
===In the Real World===
Bushbucks are shy, basically solitary animals that eat grass, bark, herbs, shrubs, fallen fruit, flowers, and other plant matter. Female bushbucks give birth to one young at a time, and will often play with the calf. Adult male bushbucks usually avoid each other whenever possible. Leopards are the main predators of bushbucks. Bushbucks are skilled jumpers and can leap high into the air.
===In The Lion Guard===
A certain type of pink flower makes the bushbucks in The Lion Guard sick. Multiple bushbucks were shown in a group, at least one of them being male, even though real-life male bushbucks stay away from each other. One of the king's duties is to set the limits on bushbuck hopping.
