Summary

[edit]
Description Antelope are herbivorous hoofed mammals of the family Bovidae in the order of even-toed ungulates. These animals are spread relatively evenly throughout the various subfamilies of the Bovidae and many are more closely related to cows or goats than to each other. There are many species of antelope, ranging in size from the tiny Royal Antelope to the ox-like Elands. Male antelope are noted for their horns, which are permanent, unlike the annually-shed antlers of deer, and which often take on extravagent curved shapes such as arcs and helices. Antelope typically have a light and elegant frame, slender, graceful limbs, small cloven hoofs, and a short tail. Except for the smallest species which hide in thickets or long grass, their principal defence against predators is to run and jump, at which they are proficient, and gazelles have a characteristic jumping gait called pronking. Antelope are found in a wide range of habitats, typically woodland, forest, savannahs, grassland plains, and marshes. Several species are adapted to mountains and rocky outcrops, a few to deserts (both hot and cold), and a couple are semi-aquatic and live in swamps [Wikipedia.org]
