Klipspringer

Africa’s Rocky Acrobat

The Klipspringer, a charming and nimble antelope, is a master of rocky terrains in various parts of Africa. These unique creatures are known for their remarkable adaptations and ability to thrive in challenging environments.

Klipspringers are characterized by their small size, standing at about 43-60 cm tall at the shoulder, and their rugged appearance, with a dense, coarse coat.

They are usually grayish-brown, but their most distinctive feature is the tuft of hair on their ears and the small, pointed horns found in both males and females.

These agile antelopes excel at traversing rocky outcrops and steep cliffs with ease, thanks to their specialized hooves that provide remarkable grip.
