Bongo reproduction involves a polygynous mating system, where males mate with multiple females. The female bongo typically gives birth to a single calf after a gestation period of about 7.5 months. Calves are born with a reddish-brown coat and white stripes for camouflage, and they remain hidden for the first few weeks of life to protect them from predators. Mothers are very attentive and will nurse their young for several months.
