Antelope. (Updated!) Makes (3,4)-jump.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

The Antelope's leap length is the square of the Knight's, and it is no coincidence. For any a:b leaper with leap length root(a²+b²), the b²-a²:2ab has leap length a²+b². Cf 6:8, 5:12, and 8:15 for the squares of the Camel, Zebra, and Giraffe.
