Springbok

The springbok is a graceful antelope found in southern and southwestern Africa. Known for its striking white face and reddish-brown side stripes, it stands about knee-high to a person. Both males and females sport curved black horns that sweep backward.

• Springboks grow horns up to 50 cm long, slightly shorter than a school ruler.
• They weigh as much as a large dog, between 27 and 42 kg.
• A dark stripe runs from each eye to the mouth like natural eyeliner.
