Grey Rhebok

The '''Grey Rhebok''' or '''Grey Rhebuck''' (''Pelea capreolus'', locally known as the '''Vaal Rhebok''' or '''Vaalribbok''') is a species of antelope endemic (ecology)|endemic to South Africa, Zimbabwe, Lesotho and Swaziland. They prefer grassy, montane habitat, and carry a woolly grey coat to insulate them from the cold of their habitat. 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.
