Do bongos have hooves?
A bongo is an ungulate, which means that they have hooves. They are even-toed, i.e. they have two toes/hooves.
What adaptations do bongos have?
Bongos have many adaptations that help them survive in the wild. The markings on the sides and backs of a bongo camouflage them in forest shadows. Their large ears help them hear approaching predators.
How many bongos are left in the world?
There are thought to be fewer than 150 bongo left in the wild. The biggest threats to them are hunting and the destruction of their habitat (where they live).
Do female bongos have horns?
The bongo is a very striking forest antelope with a brilliantly colored hide and long, smooth, spiral-shaped horns. Both male and female bongos have horns, but the female's horns are thinner and more parallel. Males are larger than females, reaching up to 880 lbs. The bongo lives in Western and Central African forests.
How do you unblock Bongo?

Do bongos eat meat?
Like other antelopes, they are herbivorous browsers that feed on leaves, bushes, vines, bark, grasses, roots, cereals, shrubs, flowers, and fruits. They also require salt in their diet and will visit natural salt/mineral licks during the night.
What happened to Bongo Jeans?
By 1993, the pair had left Bongo to focus on Lucky Brand, and in 1998 they sold Bongo to Candies for $15 million in stock. Bongo Jeans are technically still around, but since the change in ownership, the brand doesn't feel quite the same; for starters, it's no longer tied to popular celebrities.
How fast can Bongo run?
Bongo can reach the speed of 43 miles per hour when it needs to escape from the predators. It runs with horns positioned parallel to its back to avoid contact with nearby vines and lianas. Males are solitary, while females and their offspring live in herds of 6 to 50 animals.
What is a group of Bongo called?
This female eastern bongo presents her hindquarters while looking over her shoulder to check for threats at Mt. Kenya Wildlife Conservancy. Like other forest ungulates, bongos are seldom seen in large groups. Males, called bulls, tend to be solitary, while females with young live in groups of six to eight.
What are the bongos predators?
After a gestation period of 9 - 10 months Bongos give birth to a single calf that weighs approximately 19.5 kgs (43 lbs). Bongos reach sexual maturity between 2 and 2.5 years of age. Leopards, spotted hyenas, lions, pythons and humans are the main predators of Bongos.
Which animal is the only mammal that Cannot jump?
Elephants can run up to 25 miles per hour. However, they remain the only mammal on earth that can't jump. They always keep one leg on the ground - even when running.
Why are they called bongos?
Ethnomusicologists have theorized that the origin of the word “bongo” comes from the Bantu words ngoma or mgombo, meaning drum. The bongo's earliest musical roots are found in the Eastern provinces of Cuba in the Changüi and Son, two musical genres that feature the bongo as the sole percussive drum.
What noises do bongos make?
Bongo Drum Vibrations
When you strike the drum, the membrane vibrates (looking somewhat similar to when you drop a pebble in a puddle), which in turn causes the air within the bongo drum to vibrate. The tighter the drumhead, the faster the vibrations happen, meaning a higher drum sound (also called pitch).
