Antelopes
Antelope are herbivorous mammals of the family Bovidae, (usually) distinguished by a pair of hollow horns on their heads.
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 a giant rabbit.
Some species of antelope can reach speeds of 60 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour), making them among the fastest of land animals.
