Oreotragus oreotragus (Zimmermann, 1783)

山羚(學名Oreotragus oreotragus,阿非利卡語:klipspringer),南非語字面意為「山岩的跳躍者」,是一種住在好望角至東非及衣索匹亞的細少的非洲羚羊。 山羚肩高只有58厘米,是相對於其他羚羊來說是較細少的動物。只有雄性有脆弱的角,一般長20-25厘米。牠們以蹄尖站立。 山羚的毛皮厚而密,有著橄欖形狀的小斑點。牠們的毛皮使牠們能在生活的石間混和,難讓人發現。 山羚是草食性動物,以石間植物為糧食。牠們不用喝水,這是由於多汁的植物提供了牠們生存所需的水份。 山羚於九月至一月間交配。妊娠期為214日。
