Antelope
Antelope are herbivorous
mammals of the family
Bovidae, often noted for their horns. 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
elands. They typically have a light and elegant frame, slender, graceful limbs, small cloven hoofs, and a short tail. Antelope have powerful hindquarters and, when startled, they run with a peculiar bounding stride that makes them look as though they are bouncing over the terrain like giant rabbits.
