Description
The springbuck is a strikingly marked, gazelle-like antelope. It has a white face with dark stripes from the mouth to the eyes, a reddish-brown coat that turns to a darker shade and then to white on the lower third of its body, and a white backside. It stands approximately 31 inches high at the shoulders and is characterized by a fold of skin that runs from the midback to the rear. This fold can be opened in times of excitement to display a crest of white hair. Their coloring consists of three colors, white, reddish/tan and dark brown. Their backs are tan colored and at the bottom they are white, along each side there is a dark brown stripe extending from the shoulder on towards the inside thigh.
