Did you know "the klipspringer stands on the very tips of its almost circular hooves, each with the diameter of about a dime"? Now that is getting by on one's tippy toes!

Did you know that klipspringer literally translates to "rock jumper" in Afrikaans (the West Germanic language commonly spoken in southern Africa)?

Would you like even more reasons to squee over the klipspringer? How about the fact that these little rock jumpers are about the size of a bunny?!? I think that's plenty of reason to squee.

You squeeps voted last week in the Squee Spree poll, and the results are in: the klipspringer has won! So get ready for some tiny, fluffy, bouncy squees!

Squee Spree! What will it be? For this week's Squee Spree versus we have two exotic, not as well known, antelope squees. The duiker is a shy, elusive antelope from Sub-Saharan Africa, while its cousin the klipspringer lives in the rocky mountains of South Africa. Both look a lot like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer! Which makes you squee?
Be sure to check back Monday to see who won!
