Read the story carefully and answer the following questions:

The springbok is South Africa´s national animal. A springbok is like a skinny, tan deer with black and white fur along its sides. The males have thick, rough hornes on their heads. They sometimes use the horns to fight each other. The females also have horns, but they are smaller.

The name springbok comes from an Afrikaans word that combine the words spring (jump) and bok (deer). It is named this because of a special jumping behavior called "pronking". Pronking is when an animal jumps high off the ground. It jump high enough for all its legs to be in the air at the same time. Scientists believe pronking shows predators, like lions, that chasing a springbok would be too hard!

South Africans love the springbok they have included in many of their national symbols. Some of their sports teams are even called the Springboks. Do you think that the springbok represents South Africa well?
