This species varies much in colour, perhaps according to the 

 season ; sometimes the hairs are whitish at the tip, giving the fur 

 a glaceous appearance ; the black streaks are as distinct in the 

 young as in the adult. 



A. rupestris (the Steinbok) has favourite feeding- and resting- 

 places, to which it returns as speedily as possible if driven from 

 them. It occasionally crosses pools and streams, and even lies 

 down in them, to avoid leaving its scent, when hunted by dogs.
