Black Springbok Hunting

The Black Springbok is a rare color variant of the common Springbok, a small antelope notable for its lyre-shaped horns and significance as a South African symbol. This unique melanistic variant, characterized by a dark coat with contrasting white markings, arises from a genetic mutation. Black Springboks display remarkable agility and can often be seen in herds in open grasslands. While not a separate species, their rarity makes them sought after for conservation and hunting, particularly in game farms in South Africa and Namibia that practice selective breeding. Preservation of their populations is essential.
