A Ugandan kob appears on the [[coat of arms of Uganda]].
==Description==
The Ugandan kob is similar in appearance to the [[impala]] but is more sturdily built. Only the males have horns, which are lyre-shaped, strongly ridged and divergent. Males are slightly larger than females, being {{convert|90|to|100|cm|ft|abbr=on}} at the shoulder, with an average weight of {{convert|94|kg|lb|abbr=on}}, while females are {{convert|82|to|92|cm|ft|1|abbr=on}} at the shoulder and on average weigh about {{convert|63|kg|lb|abbr=on}}. Apart from the throat patch, muzzle, eye ring and inner ear, which are white, the coat is golden to reddish-brown. The belly and inside of the legs are white, and the front of the forelegs are black.<ref name=Estes>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=g977LsZHpcsC&pg=PA98 |title=The Behavior Guide to African Mammals: Including Hoofed Mammals, Carnivores, Primates |first=Richard |last=Estes |publisher=University of California Press |year=1991|isbn=978-0-520-08085-0 |pages=98–102}}</ref><ref name=Kingdon>{{cite book |title=East African Mammals: An Atlas of Evolution in Africa, Volume 3, Part.
