antelope herds

Grazing ungulate groups

Antelope herds are groups of antelopes moving or grazing together.

The phrase appears most often in nature documentaries and wildlife writing describing African savannas: Antelope herds migrated across the Serengeti.

Like other herd animals, antelopes gather for protection from predators, with many eyes watching for danger.
