This dwarf antelope (Raphicerus campestris) is one of Africa's petite treasures. Identified as a steenbok (from Afrikaans for "brick," because of its reddish-brown color), a mature adult stands about 20 inches at the shoulder and may weight 25 pounds. Steenboks are known for large ears, and in the case of males, short upright horns.
If threatened, a steenbok will first crouch and hide. If that fails, it sprints in a zig-zag fashion.
We spotted this female in the Serengeti.
