Springboks are capable of reaching speeds up to 88 km/h, making them one of the fastest land animals.
They can leap up to 4 meters (13 feet) in a behavior called pronking.
Springboks can survive without drinking water for long periods, obtaining moisture from their diet.
They have a distinctive skin flap on their backs that reveals a white crest when alarmed.
Springboks were once part of large migrations called "trekbokken," which could number over a million individuals.
Both male and female springboks have horns, with males having larger and more curved ones.
