The western or lowland bongo, Tragelaphus eurycerus eurycerus, is a herbivorous, mostly nocturnal forest ungulate and among the largest of the African forest antelope species.

Bongos are further classified into two subspecies: Tragelaphus eurycerus eurycerus, the lowland or " western bongo ", and the far rarer Tragelaphus eurycerus isaaci, the mountain or " eastern bongo " restricted to north-eastern Central Africa.

The scientific name Tragelaphus eurycerus is acquired from Greek words: " Tragelaphus " is derived from the Greek words " trago " ( a he-goat ), and " elaphos " ( a deer ), in combination referring to " an antelope ".

The Tragelaphus eurycerus may suffer from goitre.
