Steenboks are cute little antelopes that stand 52 cm tall. They live in dense forest and feed on mainly leaves. However steenboks have no glands to hide their scent from predators so they are an easy target for lions, carcals, cheetahs, pythons and even marital eagles. But being a fast runner the light weight steenbok can run faster than a jackal.
They only weigh 9 - 13 kg but have a short life but for females, their gestation (6 months) is 1/12 of their lives (6 years). Steenbok don't need water they get enough from food but they will drink when water is offered.
The photos are of a male. You can tell because he has horns and females don't, but females are heavier.
