Steenbok are one the more adaptable antelope in Africa, together with the Grey Duiker they are often the last species to leave an area. When chased by dogs, Steenbok take refuge in used antbear holes, although they generally rely on their speed to take them away from danger. Steenbok will drink when water is available, but do not require it, gaining all the moisture that they need from their food. They are most active in the morning and in the evening, lying up during the day in bush or long grass.
