Steenboks, akin to diminutive oribi, grace the savannah at a modest stature of 45–60 cm (16"–24") shoulder-high, with a weight averaging around 12 kg. Cloaked in hues spanning from fawn to rufous, their coats often lean towards a warm orange palette. The lower realm, encompassing the chin and throat, mirrors a pristine white, complemented by a circular halo encircling their eyes.
