Here is something relating to the tick and the Klipspringer:

Researchers have found an interesting relationship between the Klipspringer and the Red Rock Rabbit. A tick (Rhipicephalus arnoldi) that uses the rock rabbit as a host, finishes its lifecycle on the Klipspringer. The tick is attracted to vegetation marked by the klipspringer's facial glands and when the antelope returns to marks its territory, the tick climbs onto it.

We were so amazed to see this Klipspringer on such a tall and pointed rock in Kruger in Feb.
Just goes to show how agile they are! 8)

When on foot in KNP we have surprised them and have seen them bound up all most vertical cliffs .
