Klipspringer, Serengeti North Here&#039;s a Klipspringer far away from any rocks, found nearby our accommodation in Serengeti North. Many animals in this area have learned that the humans coming here aren&#039;t a threat. Therefore, such smart animals use the human settlement as a safe haven. For example, this Klipspringer normally has to fear big cats as well as attacks from the sky. By hanging out in and around the bushes near humans, it has to fear neither natural threat.<br />
