| Kobus kob thomasi (Sclater, 1864) |
The Ugandan Kob (Kobus kob thomasi, rarely Kobus kob thomasi neumann) is a sub-species of the kob, a type of antelope found in sub-Saharan Africa. It is normally reddish-brown, in which it differs from other kob sub-species. A Ugandan Kob appears on the coat of arms of Uganda.
The Ugandan Kob is sometimes alternatively classified into the sub-genus Adenota. References are sometimes made to it by the Dutch name of Oeganda-waterbok.
