After lunch and a siesta on August 13, 2012, Brad and I walked from our lodge to the reception/dining area where we boarded a safari vehicle to begin our hunt for Hartmann's Mountain Zebra, Equus zebra hartmannae. We photographed this Steinbock (a.k.a. Steinbuck, Steenbok), Raphicerus campestris, as it froze in mid-stride when we drove by it. The Steinbock is a small antelope of southern and eastern Africa and is between 45-60 cm at the shoulder. The male, shown here, has straight, smooth, parallel horns that are 7-19 cm long. Note the black circular scent-gland in front of the eye. Upperparts can be any shade from fawn to rufous. The underside, including chin and throat, is whitish, as is the ring around the eye. Temperatures were in the low 90's on this clear afternoon.
