Klipspringer

We took a trip to Mapungubwe.
As we were driving up a rocky hill we saw two Klipspringers (which means Rock Jumper in Afrikaans) standing on a huge boulder.
There was one male and one female.
Their hooves have a rubbery center to help them grip the rock and climb more easily.
The males stand on the rock and guard especially if they have young or a mate.
Sometimes they will stand there from a half hour to many hours.
And unlike other animals they have their young any time of the year.
They are also full grown at one year and live till about age eight.
