The Steenbok is a common small antelope in southern and eastern Africa. It is sometimes known as the steinbuck or steinbok.
They stand 45–60cm (16"-24") at the shoulder. Their coat is any shade from fawn to rufous, typically rather orange.
The underside, including chin and throat, is white, as is the ring around the eye. Ears are large with "finger-marks" on the inside.
Males have straight, smooth, parallel horns 7–19 cm long. The tail is not usually visible, being only 4–6 cm long.
There is a black crescent-shape between the ears, a long black bridge to the glossy black nose, and a black circular scent-gland in front of the eye.
There are two distinct clusters in steenbok distribution. In East Africa, it occurs in central and southern Kenya and Tanzania.
In southern Africa, it occurs in Angola, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland, Botswana, Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe and probably Lesotho.
