Springbok
FUN FACTS
-
Springboks hold the Guinness World Record for the largest herd of mammals! In the 1800’s, there were herds as large as 10 million that stretched over 90 miles long!
-
They often have episodes of jumping called “pronking.” Pronk is a Dutch word that means to “show off.”
-
Springboks come in three colors… traditional, black, and white.
-
When a male is interested in mating, he will urinate in the presence of a female; if she accepts, she, too, will urinate. I do not recommend us humans trying this!
