1851 D. Livingstone Private Jrnls. (1960) i. 37 We saw a number of antelopes called poku, very much like the reed buck but probably different.

1893 F. C. Selous Trav. S.-E. Afr. 245 I saw three roan antelopes and a few pookoos.

1900 W. L. Sclater Fauna S. Afr. I. 193 The flesh of the puku is stated..to be even more nauseous and unpalatable than that of the common water-buck.

1946 Cape Times 7 Aug. Herds of elephant up to 80 strong were seen, as well as..the rare letchwe and puku buck.
