It is my custom on Sundays to venture out among the hills just before daylight. Twice now I have spotted on one of the hillsides an antelope browsing.

Though on both occasions it was too distant for an accurate identification, I believe it to be a female Steenbok¹ (Raphicerus campestris)².

I base this solely upon the general shape and colour of the creature—and the name of the nearby mountain, Steenboksberg³ (Steenbok’s Mountain)!

1. Afrikaans for “stone-buck”, pronounced [steeyin-bok].
2. Steenbok (Wikipedia)
3. Afrikaans, pronounced [steeyin-boks-behRCH] with a trilled [RRR] and the [CH] in “loch” (not [ck] but the guttural [kccch]).
