White-eared Kob, , Lichtenstein & Peters, 1853, is known to occur in the Gambela-Boma landscape in western Ethiopia and South Sudan. They live in herds and are generally found near water, in such places as plains, woodlands, swamps, and flood plains. We deployed 36 camera traps in Omo National Park and one of them took two images of a White-eared Kob. This is the first documentation from Omo National Park and showing that its range extends further to Omo than previously known and, therefore, the entire area (Gambella to Omo) can be considered as a range extension.
白耳水羚(学名:Kobus kob leucotis,利希滕斯坦和彼得斯,1853年)已知分布于埃塞俄比亚西部和南苏丹的甘贝拉-博马地区。它们群居生活,通常在靠近水源的地方被发现,比如平原、林地、沼泽和泛滥平原。我们在奥莫国家公园部署了36个相机陷阱,其中一个拍到了两张白耳水羚的照片。这是奥莫国家公园的首次记录,表明其分布范围比之前所知的更远至奥莫地区,因此,整个区域(从甘贝拉到奥莫)都可被视为其分布范围的扩展。
