Male Springbok

The springbok (Afrikaans and Dutch: spring = jump; bok = antelope or goat) (Antidorcas marsupialis) is a medium-sized brown and white gazelle of southwestern Africa. It stands about 70 to 90 cm (28 to 35 in) high.
Springbok males weigh between 32 and 48 kg (71 and 110 lb) and the females between 25 and 35 kg (55 and 77 lb).
They can reach running speeds of up to 100 km/h (62 mph)[3] and can leap 4 m[4] (13 feet) into the air and jump a horizontal distance of up to 15 m (50 feet).
