in a drizzle

a male klipspringer ( O.oreotragus ) under an humid drizzle.

these little antelopes live just in rocky areas and they are incredibly agile and always alert.

their enemies are mainly leopards and big eagles,the only predators able to ambush or attack klipspringers in their three-dimensional environment.Unlike most other antelopes, the klipspringer has a thick and coarse coat with hollow, brittle hairs.the coat is a significant adaptation that saves the animal during steep falls.
