The grey rhebok or grey rhebuck (Pelea capreolus), locally known as the Vaal rhebok or Vaalribbok in Afrikaans, is a species of antelope endemic to South Africa, Zimbabwe, Lesotho and Swaziland.
They inhabit grassy, montane habitats, and carry a woolly grey coat to insulate them from the cold. Only the males carry the straight horns. Males become extremely aggressive during the breeding season.
The Afrikaans/Dutch spelling, reebok, is responsible for the name of the British sportswear manufacturing company Reebok.
Famous quotes containing the word grey:
“I’ll walk where my own nature would be leading:
It vexes me to choose another guide:
Where the grey flocks in ferny glens are feeding;
Where the wild wind blows on the mountain-side.”
—Emily Brontë (1818–1848)
