Springbok

Jungle Beat Promotional Material
Springbok are buck that spring. They also jump, leap, bound and frolic. When they start leaping repeatedly high into the air this is called pronking. No kidding. Pronking! They can jump up to 3-5 meters high and 15 meters across in a single bound which is only slightly less than Superman.

Personality
Springbok is a very curious, confident, and clever animal. When he has a task, or when something catches his attention, he won't stop until he's acquired or mastered it. He is also easily swayed by females, as seen in You Don't Bring Me Flowers where he is enchanted by a female springbok and goes to great lengths to get a hard to reach flower for her.

Springbok also really likes sounds, as seen in I Love Rock and Roll, where he experiments with the echoes of his hoof steps and voice, and then tries to use hollow logs to make more sounds. In the same episode, he show's his cleverness by putting together a large music machine out of logs, pebbles, and vines.

Skills
Springbok is a good runner and a very good jumper. He's able to clear great heights and distances when jumping with a running start. He's also a pretty decent climber, especially when he's in a tight spot.
