KLIPSPRINGER
The Klipspringer (Oreotragus oreotragus) is a small antelope. Klipspringer translated directly means “rock jumper” in the Afrikaans language. Their coat is a yellow-brown and their ears are encircled in black. They are preyed on by Lions, Cheetahs, Humans and Eagles as they are quite small.They are humble creatures and will look out for other klipspringers nearby for instance: when one is eating, the other will stand and keep look out for predators that may be nearby. They travel in pairs mostly and they mate for life.
