Klipspringer

Eastern and southern Africa are home to the diminutive antelope known as the klipspringer. In 1783, German biologist Eberhard August Wilhelm von Zimmermann published his first description of the klipspringer, the lone member of its genus and subfamily/tribe. The klipspringer is a little, hardy antelope that weighs between 8 and 18 kilos and measures 43 to 60 centimeters at the shoulder. In its rocky habitat, the klipspringer's yellowish gray to reddish brown coat serves as effective camouflage. The klipspringer has a thick, coarse coat with hollow, brittle hairs, unlike the majority of other antelopes. The small, spiky horns are normally between 7.5 and 9 cm long.

The klipspringer lives in regions with rocky ground and little flora. From northeastern Sudan, Eritrea, Somaliland, and Ethiopia in the east to South Africa in the south, as well as along the coasts of Angola and Namibia, it has a range that is rather large. The klipspringer is categorized as Least Concern by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN). The klipspringer doesn't face any significant dangers to its survival because of its difficult-to-access habitat and unfavorable hunting conditions. Private farmlands contain considerable populations. In its range as of 2008, about 25% of the population is found in protected areas.

Klipspringers, which eerily resemble mechanical Disney deers, are the highest jumping creatures relative to their body size. The lovely antelopes jump ten times their height and stand around 24 inches tall at the shoulder.
