Hi Lost,
The term "bokkie" is a lovely South African word. Used as a term of endearment it can be applied to either sex, and literally translated it means 'little buck', or 'little deer'. The English equivalent is 'sweetheart', and, as Jan said , it's used as a general term for any unidentified antelope we might see.
Welcome to The Africam Boma!

Hi Lost. Most people in here refer to any unidentified antelope as "bokkie". It's hard at nighttime to tell one from another.
