Male steenbok standing in an open field at the edge of the bush in the Okavango Delta in Botswana, Africa.

Pictured is a frontview of a male steenbok standing in the grass in an open field at the edge of the bush in the Okavango Delta in Botswana, Africa. This common small antelope is sometimes known as the steinbuck or steinbok. At the first sign of trouble, steenbok typically lie low in the vegetation. If a predator or perceived threat comes closer, a steenbok will leap away and follow a zigzag route to try to shake off the pursuer. The photograph was taken from a safari vehicle based at the Atzaro Okavango Camp. The binomial name is Raphicerus campestris.
