Abstract: The study was undertaken during dry season, (January- April) and wet season, (May – Sept.) 2009, at the Sudd regions Mobior Gol in Jonglei South Sudan in three Locations (Mara, Duk Padiet and Jeli). The Study was conducted to determine the feeding habits of tiang (Damaliscus korrigum) from the plant material in its habitats, and to investigate the feeding by examination of faecal pellets. Thirty one plant species were collected and identified; there was strong correlation between Iocations and seasons regarding the frequency of categories. The Iocaion Mara showed the highest frequency 30 out of 77 followed by Duk Padiet 26, and Jeli 21, respectively. With percentage of 39% in Mara, 33.8% in Duk Padiet, and 27,3% in Jeli. Sixty slides of plant fragment of dry season was prepared then examined. The result identified epidermis characteristics of plant fragment clearly and gave excellent view of epidermis cell pattern, Forty slides of plant fragment of wet season were preserved and examined, the result identified unclear views of epidermis characteristics because of high constituents of herbs, mean difference of forbs in wet season were as 48.50 #9.56. Mean difference for forbs in dry season were as 33.45 ±7.92, as well mean difference for grass in wet season were as 8.73 ± 7.7 1,mean difference of grass in dry season were as 11.77 ± 5.43
