The Rock Jumper

In Southern Africa, this tiny lovable little antelope is called the Klipspringer or the rock jumper. It can be found in rocky terrain where its hoofs give it an advantage over predators. Looks at those hoofs! They look like they are standing on their tippy toes all the time. The delicate creatures have a diet of flowers, fruits, herbs and sprouts. I found this little one in the garden of the lodge where I was staying in Swaziland very early in the morning.
