The σπρίνγμποκ, or springbok, is a medium-sized antelope native to southern Africa. It is known for its distinctive light brown coat with white underparts and a unique feature called "pronking," where it leaps into the air with all four legs. This behavior is thought to be a display of fitness and agility, helping to evade predators. Springboks are social animals, often found in herds that can vary in size. They primarily graze on grasses and are well-adapted to the arid environments of their habitat. The species plays a significant role in the ecosystem by helping to maintain grassland health.
