About The dainty springbok can be found all over in the dry savannah of southern Africa. The biggest population is found in the Kalahari, where they are the most widely spread antelope species. If their food contains at least 10 per cent water, they can cope without drinking. They live in larger groups and during the summer months huge herds of them concentrate in dry riverbeds.

Springboks are fast sprinters. They can reach a speed of 80 kmh and jump for more than 10 metres. Their characteristic high-jumping behaviour can be particularly well observed during the rare rainfalls. Apparently out of the pure joy of living, the animals jump up and down like bouncing balls, stretching their front and rear legs simultaneously and bending their heads down.

In Afrikaans:
Die Springbok (Antidorcas marsupialis) is 'n klein (ongeveer 75 cm hoë) bruin-en-wit wildsbok. Springbokramme kan tot 50 kg weeg, terwyl ooie 'n maksium massa van 37 kg kan bereik.

Springbokke bewoon die droë binnelandse gebiede van Sentraal- en Wes-Afrika en was eens op 'n tyd volop in hierdie gebiede. Weens jagters en menslike besetting van hul woongebied is daar egter vandag aansienlik minder te vinde.

Have a great relaxing day, enjoy life!! Jenxx

Hello dear Harry, i was amazed this bokkie was so quiet there, I was afraid it would be sick or else eaten by a lion, normally they just jump up in big amounts, after the shoot it just run off and that was the best for me:)
And I adont think I am that calm inside actually, specially with animals shooting I get quite nervous if they will run off:)) Yes you must be kidding me...loll..thanks for that!! hugs Jenxx

Thank you my dear friend, hoping you had a real relaxt day and sunny too?
Heard there is a lot of difference in the wether these days, in the west lots of rain and 13 degrees, here in the north 23 and very humid hot!!
A romantice dinner would be nice here or in Africa, let's see what happens, did you see my message about the 14th? Ben je dan ergens in de buurt of zijn de plannen inmiddels gewijzigd??
Klinkt allemaal erg goed, met voor- en nagerecht, vooral de aspergetijd nu doet me veel:)))
Voor wie heb jij gekookt dit weekend??
Liefs Jenxx

Sharp and colorful image from Namibia.
So peaceful on my quiet and lazy Sunday, but if I was a lion not aware of the day I would prepare my dinner now ...voor 'n romantiese ete met another lion:
Die pad na 'n vrouw se hart, is deur haar maag... Dis baie waar! Kook vir haar 'n heerlike feesmaal met 'n romantiese tafel wat jy daarby dek. Sagte musiek, kerslig, voorgereg, hoofgereg, nagereg en sjampanje...
