Springbok


We just learned about the Bongo type of antelope.

Another kind of antelope is the springbok.

The male springbok has a flap of skin like a pocket on it's back by its tail.
When he wants to show that he is big and strong, he will jump up in the air and flip that flap of skin up, to show how tough he is!
