About the Springbok:
Springbok can be distinguished by their large size (75cm @ shoulder), lyre-shaped horns and distinctive stripes on the body. Both males and females have horns. They are often seen on the trail, even during the day. Springbok are adapted to dry climates as they can maintain their condition without drinking water. They will then depend on water from their food, which can include succulent roots and melons. They are called "Spring" buck from their habit of springing up vertically into the air. This behavior is also called "pronking " or "stotting".
