Social organization and ecology of the klipspringer (Oreotragus oreotragus) in Ethiopia
The klipspringer (Oreotragus oreotragus) occurs throughout southern and eastern Africa wherever suitable habitat is found. The preferred habitat is typically rocky outcrops or the steep rocky slopes of mountains and gorges, where they may be found up to 4000 m altitude on the Ethiopian plateau (Dors...

| description | The klipspringer (Oreotragus oreotragus) occurs throughout southern and eastern Africa wherever suitable habitat is found. The preferred habitat is typically rocky outcrops or the steep rocky slopes of mountains and gorges, where they may be found up to 4000 m altitude on the Ethiopian plateau (Dorst and Dandelot1970). The smaller ungulates have been the subject of fewer field studies than the more easily observed, larger open-country species. The observations reported below were made during the course of a 20-month field study of the gelada baboon (Theropithecus gelada) in Ethiopia in an attempt to provide some background information on the behaviour and ecology of the klipspringer. |
