It is extremely fast and can reach speeds of 88 km/h (55 mph) and can leap 4 m (13 feet) through the air.The common name springbok comes from the Afrikaans and Dutch words spring = jump and bok = male antelope or goat.pringbok footprints are narrow and sharp, and are 5.5 cm (2.2 in) long. springbok are distinguished from gazelles in that they only have two premolar teeth in each side of each jaw, instead of three, and therefore a total of twenty eight teeth, rather than thirty.
The Springboks are, however, under pressure from the South African Rugby Union, which is itself under pressure from the South African Sports Ministry, to use more black players. Before the test in Cape Town, the average percentage of nonwhite players on the Springboks during the Rugby Championship was 12 percent.
