About the Rock Antelope

A small, compact antelope specialized for life among rocky hills, cliffs, and koppies. Klipspringers have thick, rubbery hoof pads that provide exceptional grip on steep rock surfaces. They usually live in monogamous pairs or small family groups and feed mainly on leaves, flowers, and other vegetation. They are territorial, alert, and often remain close to rocky escape terrain.
