antelope


A grazing animal related to cows, goats, and deer.  They live in a wide range of habitats, such as woodland, forest, savannahs, grassland plains, and marshes.

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 defense against predators is to run and jump, skip, kneel, beg, and bop. 

Male antelope are noted for their permanent, long and elegant horns.
