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:
“Women should not weaken their cause by impracticable demands. Make no claim which could not be won in a reasonable time. Take one step at a time, get a good foothold in it and advance carefully.”
—Jane Grey Swisshelm (1815–1884)
