An addition to the nearly-extinct mammal list

I made a list of some of the mammals near-extincting the other day; today I ready about the Kenyan mountain antelope, the Bongo, which only has 103 representatives left in the wild (though there are around 500 in zoological parks and other concerns, such as the one below).

World's 103 mountain antelopes face extinction: Kenya

It's a handsome, unique animal. The picture below is of a baby bongo born at the Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy.
