Antidorcas Marsupialis is a scientific name for a mammal commonly known as a springbok. Synonyms for this animal's name include "hopper," "springer," "jumpbuck," and "leapspringer." These names are derived from the impressive jumping abilities of the springbok, which can leap up to 13 feet in a single bound. Other synonyms used for Antidorcas Marsupialis include "South African gazelle," "pattie," and "torpedo." Native to the open grasslands of southern Africa, springboks are known for their distinctive coat patterns, which feature a dark stripe running along their backs and white bellies. These animals are widely hunted for their meat and hides, but conservation efforts have helped to protect this species in recent years.
