# The Klipspringer deers name directly translates to 'rock jumper' and he got this name because of its impressive ability to tiptoe over rocky terrain.  # a Fully grown Klipspringer weighs a mere 11-13 Kg and stands a whole 500-600 mm high measured from toe to shoulders.  # A very interesting fact about this animal is that it is not dependent on drinking water. # Its diet consists mainly of flowers, tender green shoots and fruits of a wide variety of shrubs and herbs. # You will hardly see these tiny deer feeds on grass.  # One of the Klipspringers defense mechanisms, is that it is very nimble and alert, and tunes in to the warning signals of other animals, once the Klipspringer is alarmed it will literally head for the hills and make a whistling sound when they are safe. # I managed to find a [youtube clip](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSy4sEnApNc) that will give you a better idea of just how cute these amazingly agile little deer are: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSy4sEnApNc
