Habitat
Steenbok occur in a wide range of habitats, from open plains to open woodland.
They prefer however, plains with short grass and shrub.
Habits
Both sexes are territorial and solitary animals, being seen together only during the
mating period. They have pre-orbital glands, bu these are not used for territorial
demarcation. Instead, Steenbok use their inter mandibular gland, situated between
the two halves of the lower jaw, for that effect. Steenbok are diurnal animals and d
not depend on availability of water. They drink in very rare occasions. Only males
have horns, and they weigh up to 12 Kg. They live to about 10 years of age.
Steenbok are mainly browsers. They will dig for tubers and bulbs and will eat
melons for water.
One single calf is born after a gestation period of 168 to 173 days. The calf will hide
for the first couple of months of his life in bushes and abandoned holes. They start
following their mother at the age of 4 months. On reaching maturity, at about 12
months, each one goes it's own way.
