Oribi

The oribi is a small antelope species that is found in various parts of Africa, including countries like South Africa, Kenya, and Uganda. Oribis are well-suited to living in grasslands and savannas. They prefer wide-open areas where they can easily see predators approaching and where there's plenty of grass to graze on. Oribis are relatively small antelopes, with males standing about 24-28 inches tall at the shoulder and females being slightly smaller. They have a reddish-brown coat that helps them blend into the grasses of their habitat. Both males and females have pointy, curved horns. Oribis are adapted for life in grassy areas. Their long, thin legs help them run quickly and leap high, which is important for escaping from predators. They also have keen senses of sight, smell, and hearing to detect danger.

These antelopes are herbivores, meaning they eat plants. They mainly graze on grasses and occasionally nibble on leaves and other vegetation found in their grassland homes.

Female oribis usually give birth to one calf at a time. The calves are born with a special scent that helps them stay hidden from predators. The moms are very protective and hide the babies in tall grasses while they go look for food. Oribis are known for their graceful leaping and jumping behavior. When they're not grazing, they can be seen playing, running, and leaping around, showing off their agility.

Oribis are not currently considered endangered, but they still face some threats, like habitat loss due to human activities. Conservation efforts are important to ensure that their grassland homes are protected.
