The message
When a Springbok is full of energy, it leaps straight up into the air, a move called pronking. Joy is a sign of strength, not foolishness. Find something today that makes you want to jump.
Ask yourself
What makes me want to leap for joy, and when did I last do it?
The animal
Springbok can run at around 90 km/h and can go without drinking, taking water from the plants they eat.
