Evasive maneuvers: Springboks are also known for their agility and evasive maneuvers. They can suddenly change direction, zigzag, and leap high into the air to avoid predators.
Group living: Springboks live in large herds, which provide safety in numbers. When a predator is spotted, the herd will often scatter in different directions, making it difficult for the predator to single out an individual.
Stotting: One unique behavior that springboks exhibit is called stotting. This involves jumping high into the air repeatedly while running. Although the exact reason for stotting is not fully understood, it is thought to deter predators by making the springbok appear larger and more intimidating and signaling to other springboks that there is danger.
Warning signals: Springboks have excellent eyesight and are able to spot predators from a distance. When danger is detected, they emit loud alarm calls to warn other members of the herd.
