Uncharismatic Fact of the Day
Most people don't like to be whistled at on the street, but for male kob antelope it's an essential part of attracting a mate! Males in their prime gather at a designated breeding ground, called a lek, and whistle to gather the attention of nearby females, who then chose a partner based on his fitness and ability to fight off rivals.

Kob (Kobus kob)
Family: Cattle Family (Bovidae)
IUCN Conservation Status: Least Concern
Found in scattered populations across western and central regions of Sub-Saharan Africa, Kob (singular and plural) inhabit flat, open habitats (often grasslands) in close proximity to water, where they feed almost entirely on well-hydrated grasses. While many antelopes are able to survive for extended periods of time without drinking both Kob and the grasses they eat require consistent access to water to survive, and as such herds of Kob undergo seasonal migrations in accordance with seasonal variation in rainfall - as the waterholes and rivers they rely on evaporate during the dry season migratory herds leave drier areas to travel to wetter ones. Migrating Kob herds are led by a large number (potentially thousands) of hornless females (which learn to navigate from their mothers,) while smaller groups made up entirely of horned adult males follow behind the females as they travel towards water. Upon arriving in areas with plentiful water and fresh grass (such as floodplains,) the large migratory herds disperse into several smaller groups; females and their young typically remain in groups of 5-40 while grazing, while adult males will adopt one of two forms of territorial behaviours depending on population density - if a large number of Kob are present at a single site males will establish “leks” made up of numerous small overlapping territories in which every male simultaneously competes for the attention of females, but if the population in the area is relatively small each male will claim a larger territory and will aggressively drive away any other nearby males (which is usually done solely through aggressive displays such as lowering of the horns, although if one male refuses to back away from the other they will slam their heads together and attempt to push their competitor back, typically resulting in the losing party fleeing.) Female Kob locate leks by detecting chemicals in the males’ urine that indicate reproductive maturity, and after a gestation period of around 9 months a female will give birth to a single calf which will stay by her side until reaching maturity between 13 and 18 months later (with males taking longer to reach full maturity than females.) As Kob are reliant on water-rich grazing areas to survive the establishing of farms in these areas has driven them out of parts of their former range, but there are hopes that the establishing of protected sites for the use of migrating Kob and the provision of alternate livelihoods for farmers with which they share their range may mitigate the damage done to their overall population.

Continuation of Kob.
Bush is the main guitarist. (don't question how electric guitars with amp's would work with dragons that doesn't matter atm).
And yeah another trans silkwing? tbh this gives me mtf vibes but also non-conforming. So atm I'm placing Bush as demi-girl?
For trans dragons in wof, I feel like it would work like frogs or certain fish and lizards, if given the time, space and environment they will start to change physically, it's not like a switch it would be more like a deeply felt feeling (;-;) depending on the type of hormones relating to their transition.
Also Bush and Dispar are both Silkwings because the band members they represent literally live in the same state and SAME CITY. James Shaffer also lives in the same spot so he's gonna be a Hivewing instead.

Kob (Kobus kob)
Habitat & Distribution
Most common on savannahs and floodplains, but can also be found in sparse woodlands
Distributed throughout central Africa, from Senegal to Kenya
Physical Description
Weight: 94 kg (207 lb) on average for males, 63 kg (139 lb) for females
Height at shoulder: 90–100 cm (3.0–3.3 ft) for males, 82–92 cm (2.69–3.02 ft) for females
Both males and females are a golden brown with white undersides; males are distinguised by a set of curved, ridged horns
Behaviour
Males and females can live in herds of typically 5-40 individuals but can number well into the thousands; these herds are typically female-dominated, but there are herds that are composed entirely of males
Female-dominated herds tend to travel extensively between water sources, while males remain within set territories
Kob are herbivores, feeding primarily on grasses and new shoots
Main predators are cheetahs, lions, hyenas, and African wild dogs
Key Advantages
While normally only used in ritual combat with other males, the kob's horns can be used to deter predators
Kob can run up to 60 kph (37 mph) and are quite agile
Like many antelope, they have accute senses of hearing and smell
See where they stand in the May Mammal Madness Tournament here!

So so so excited to share this character!! I drew this back in early August when I got to do a session 0 for a post-apocalypse IRL setting (...MERICA) kids (adults) on bikes campaign!
This is my character, Terry, bigender canto-canadian from Montreal. There's a running joke that we should all just play ourselves since it was a real world setting but I was like how about me a little to the left? Hence, Terry LOL she's a scout, I'm gonna be the party's ranger-rogue basically, for everyone more familiar with DnD rather than KOB.
