antelopes
Swift African herbivores
Antelopes is the plural of antelope, a group of hoofed mammals found mainly in Africa and Asia.
They resemble deer but belong to the bovid family, along with cattle, sheep, and goats.
The term covers a wide range of species—from the tiny dik-dik to the large eland—unified by their graceful build, speed, and typically curved horns.
Herds of antelopes scattered across the savanna.
