Springboks are medium-sized antelopes native to southern Africa, particularly found in countries like South Africa, Namibia, and Botswana. They are known for their distinctive golden-brown coats and white underbellies, along with their unique black markings on their faces and legs. Springboks are highly agile and can leap up to 10 feet in the air, a behavior known as "pronking," which helps them evade predators. These animals are social creatures, often forming large herds that can number in the hundreds. Springboks primarily graze on grasses and are well-adapted to arid environments, making them an important species in their ecosystems. They are also the national symbol of South Africa, representing the country's rich wildlife heritage.
