	Klipspringer
		The klipspringer is mainly active during the early morning and late afternoon, resting during the hottest part of the day among rocks or beneath overhangs.
		The klipspringer is classified as a low risk, conservation dependent species by the IUCN (1996).
		While most ungulates are "tiptoers", the klipspringer is the only artiodactyl to take this to the extreme, standing on the very tips of its hooves.

	Klipspringer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		A klipspringer’s short coat is thick, dense and hard, with a grizzled 'salt and pepper' pattern of an almost olive shade.
		While most hoofed animals are 'tiptoers', the klipspringer are the only group to take this to the extreme, standing on the very tips of their hooves.
		The smaller the surface area of the hoof, the greater the chance of finding a foothold When a klipspringer is standing still, it brings its front and hind legs together in one spot, which is rather unique in horned ungulates.

	Klipspringer
		The Klipspringer is adapted to live in a rocky habitat and move around with ease on cliffs and mountains.
		Their hooves are oval shaped and have long narrow soles and blunt tips allowing them to bounce from rock to rock with ease almost like a ballerina on the tips of their toes.
		The tick is attracted to the fl secretion on the twigs and as the Klipspringer reaffirms its territory is ready to climb on.

		Klipspringer are found most commonly in pairs, as solitary individuals or in small family groups, although slightly larger groups may congregate temporarily at preferred feeding sites.
		The Klipspringer walks on the tips of its hooves, and is often sighted poised on a high, projecting rock.

	Klipspringer
		A hillside scree of loose rock, a cinder cone, even a level expanse of jagged lava rock are all places where the klipspringer's superior jumping ability and surefootedness enable it to escape terrestrial predators.
		Klipspringers may typically spend their adult lifetimes within the same home range/territory, which can be as small as 20 acres (8 ha) in lush climates, increasing to 37 acres (15 ha) in arid regions, up to 121 acres (49 ha) in subdesert One adult male stayed 9 years on the same kopje.
		Because klipspringers must often leave their refuges to forage, they are very alert to predators and to alarm signals of other species, react by fleeing to higher ground with or without first calling, the female leading.

		Klipspringer was developed as a 50:50 joint venture between SouthernEra and De Beers Consolidated Mines Limited with De Beers fully funding the R50 million development capital.
		The mine was commissioned in January 2002, shortly before an unprecedented steep appreciation of the South African Rand against the US$, which strengthened from a low of R11.60 in 2002 to high of R6.50 in 2003.
		As a consequence, Klipspringer became unprofitable and was placed on care and maintenance in January 2004.

		This alerts other animals to the presence of a predator and tells other klipspringers that the pair occupy the territory.
