The klipspringer (Oreotragus oreotragus) is a small bovidae species that inhabits rocky terrains and cliffs in Africa. Adapted to open rocky ground at elevations up to 4,380 m, it moves skillfully over unstable footing using its elongated, cylindrical specialized hooves and well-developed hind legs. Body length ranges from 75 to 115 cm and weight from 8 to 18 kg; females are slightly larger and horns occur mainly in males. A browser that feeds on fruits, flowers, and leaves, it is crepuscular and lives alone, in pairs, or in small family groups. Territorial behavior is exhibited, with marking through eye gland secretions and feces; although breeding varies by region, gestation is about six months and typically results in a single offspring. Hunting occurs but the species is currently assessed as of least concern.
