Description
This alert looking antelope is a klipspringer which means "rock jumper" in Afrikaans, a small African antelope, only about 22 inches (58 cm) at the shoulder. Both males and females have horns; this is a female. The black, teardrop-shaped area under her eyes is a pre-orbital gland, the most unusual feature of this antelope. Her "salt and pepper" coat is almost olive colored so she blends in well in her native habitat: the rocky areas of the mountain shrub lands of the tip of Africa, the woodland hills of the rest of Southern Africa, the hilly woodlands of East Africa, and the mountainous Ethiopia highlands.
