🐃Klipspringer
Kalliohyppijä (Oreotragus oreotragus) on pieni afrikkalainen antilooppilaji. Nimensä mukaisesti se elää kivisillä ja kallioisilla alueilla. Levinneisyys ulottuu Etiopiasta Kapin niemimaalle. Kalliohyppijä on sukunsa ainoa laji ja sen kehityslinja on saattanut erota muista onttosarvisista jo mioseenikauden alussa. Tieteellinen nimi Oreotragus tulee kreikan sanoista oros ("vuori") ja tragos ("urosvuohi/pukki"), tarkoittaen "vuoripukkia". Kalliohyppijä-nimitys tulee hollannin tai afrikaansin kielen sanasta Klipspringer, joka sananmukaisesti tarkoittaa kalliohyppijää. Laji liikkuu eniten varhaisaamulla ja myöhäisillalla, ja elää yleensä pareittain tai pieninä ryhminä.
