The Cape grysbok (Raphicerus melanotis) is a small antelope that is endemic to South Africa. Though a relatively common species, it is rarely seen on the African plains as it is very wary and avoids human contact when possible.

Cape grysboks are, for the most part, browsers.
They dine on grass and the leaves of bushes, trees and vines, as well as fruit. These small antelopes adapt pretty readily to habitat changes, which can sometimes lead it into trouble, especially when they decide to dine on the crops of farmers.

The cape grysbok is a nocturnal animal, sleeping during the day and coming out in the evenings to graze.

At the San Diego Zoo Safari Park in Escondido, CA, they integrate wildlife health and care, science, and education to develop sustainable conservation solutions.
