Springbok Pronking, Small African Antelopes Jumping Around Sillily

One of the most famous behaviors of the springbok is pronking. This is an energetic, high-jumping display where a springbok leaps into the air, with all four feet off the ground, in a series of rapid bounces. This behavior is thought to serve as both a form of communication and display of fitness. It is also believed to confuse or distract predators, as the rapid, erratic motion may make it harder for predators to focus on a single target. #exoticwildlifeassociation #ewa #wildlifeconservation #e
