Male Steenbok Eating Under Dense Cover (Raphicerus campestris)
Sabi Sabi Game Reserve
Near Kruger National Park
South Africa
Male steenbok eating tender shoots hidden in dense cover.
Steenbok resemble small Oribi, standing 45–60 cm (16"-24") at the shoulder. Their pelage (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. Males have straight, smooth, parallel horns 7–19 cm long. There is a black crescent-shape between the ears, a long black bridge to the glossy black nose, and a black circular scent-gland in front of the eye. The tail is not usually visible, being only 4–6 cm long.
The steenbok (Raphicerus campestris) is a common small antelope of southern and eastern Africa. - Wikipedia
