Trollip's Springbok

Eugene Trollip's model emphasizes the springbok's characteristic pronking leap, with the body elevated and the legs arranged beneath it. That posture distinguishes the design from a generic standing antelope.

The model was created by South African origami designer Eugene Trollip. His animal designs often focus on recognizable silhouettes, expressive posture, and efficient use of a single sheet.

The published design is associated with the modern single-sheet origami tradition rather than modular assembly. Folders should consult the authorized diagram or crease pattern for the exact paper and no-cut requirements of the version they are using.

A thin, strong sheet is useful because the legs, horns, and head concentrate multiple layers into narrow areas. Duo-colored paper can help the finished springbok read clearly, although the design's silhouette is more important than printed markings.
