The Springbok (Afrikaans: spring = jump; bok = antelope, deer, or goat) is a small brown and white gazelle that stands about 75 cm high. Typical of this species is the pronk (jumping display), which led to its common name. Both sexes have horns, but those of the ram are thicker and rougher.
This species has adapted to the dry, barren areas and open grass plains.
They eat both grass and leaves and can go without drinking-water, because they get enough moisture from the succulent leaves.
The Springbok is the national animal of South Africa.
