Hog Deer (Axis porcinus) thumbnail image on AnimalDex

Hog Deer

Species principle: Low Cover

Duck through grass.

The safest path may be the one that stays below the grass line.

Hog Deer often flee with low, head-down movement through tall grass and dense cover rather than bounding high like many deer.

Steenbok (Raphicerus campestris) thumbnail image on AnimalDex

Steenbok

Species principle: Vanish

Dart into thorn.

The quickest escape is sometimes the body that already knows where cover begins.

Steenboks are small antelopes with large ears, solitary behavior, and quick darting movement into dry bush or grass when threatened.
