The steenbok is a small antelope species that inhabits various regions of Africa, including savannas, grasslands, and deserts. They have a compact body with a height of around 50-60 cm and a weight of 8-15 kg, making them one of the smallest antelope species. They are known for their reddish-brown coat with a glossy appearance, and their fur is usually short and coarse. Steenboks have large, round ears that are long and pointed, which they can move independently to detect sounds and potential threats. They are primarily herbivorous, feeding on a variety of plants, and are well-adapted to living in arid environments with limited water sources. Steenboks are known for their agility and speed, often using their excellent leaping ability to escape from predators. They are generally solitary animals and are known to be shy and elusive in nature.
