Klipspringer

The klipspringer is a small, sturdy antelope that lives in rocky areas of eastern and southern Africa. Its thick, coarse coat, ranging from yellowish gray to reddish brown, helps it blend into its rugged surroundings. Unlike many antelopes, it has hollow, brittle hairs and short, spiky horns.

• It stands 43–60 centimeters tall at the shoulder.
• It weighs between 8 and 18 kilograms.
• Its horns are typically 7.5–9 centimeters long.
