Uncharismatic Fact of the Day
They say great things come in small packages- for example, the royal antelope! This species is the smallest antelope in the world, reaching a shoulder height of just 25 cm (9.8 in) and weighing a little over 2.5 kg (5.5 lbs). However, they are extremely fast, and capable of making astounding leaps- sometimes covering 2.8 m (9.2 ft) in a single bound!
