Thank you very much for the information and insight on this antelope! I have heard of them but knew nothing about them! The Ballerinas of the Koppies!

Hi Nick. Thanks for sharing the information on the Klipspringers. They are quite small and very agile little antelope. The way they climb on the rocks are remarkable and they seem to be satisfied being there high up on the rocks.

They are a cute little antelope! I have wondered about them (and mis ID them as dik-dik on zooniverse). Thanks!

Hi Patrick, typically we see about two or three klipspringers on a kopppie at any given time, it is unusual to see many more than that.
