Oribi occur only in moist grassland on flat to gently undulating terrain. This antelope feeds very selectively on certain grasses and even on certain parts only of certain grasses, as well as on some forbs. It requires short, good quality veld (either burnt or mowed) for feeding and long grass in which the young can lie up. Each animal requires about 30 ha of suitable habitat. Oribi are easily caught by dogs; therefore, strict control of both domestic and wandering dogs is necessary.
