Antelope

An antelope is a type of herbivorous mammal belonging to the Bovidae family, commonly found in Africa and parts of Asia. They are known for their agility, speed, and often striking appearance, with many species featuring sleek bodies, curved horns, and varied sizes. Antelopes primarily graze on grasses, leaves, and shrubs, playing important roles in their ecosystems as prey for large predators and as grazers that help maintain healthy plant communities. They are social animals, often forming herds for protection and communication, and their diversity reflects adaptations to a wide range of habitats.
