antelope
Swift African grazer
An antelope is a swift, graceful, hoofed mammal found mainly in Africa and Asia.
The term covers a diverse group of animals—gazelles, impalas, wildebeest, and many others—rather than a single species.
Antelopes are known for their speed and agility, often depicted bounding across savannas: A herd of antelope scattered at the lion's approach.
