Steenbok

Raphicerus campestris

Description:

Standing 45–60 cm at the shoulder. Their coat is any shade from fawn to rufous, typically rather orange. The underside, including chin and throat, is white, as is the ring around the eye. Ears are large with "finger-marks" on the inside.

Habitat:

Semiarid desert of Tankwa National Park.

Notes:

Another terrified antelope at the Park. Therefore we are convinced illegal hunting takes place here.

Thanks C.Sydes - she sure is. Im just worried that illegal hunting is taking place in this park, the animals are very jumpy and run away from vehicles - not the case in the Kruger?
