Springbok

The Springbok is a sleek and elegant antelope with a creamy white face, chestnut flanks, and a bold dark stripe down each side. It has slender legs built for speed and long, lyre-shaped horns.  They’re known for “pronking”—a high, stiff-legged leap used to show off strength or startle predators.  Springboks can jump up to 13 feet in the air and often do it just for fun or excitement.  When required Springbok can reach speeds up to 60 mph – they are among the top ten fastest land animals in the world.
