Antelope species

Antelopes are a diverse group of hoofed mammals native to Africa and parts of Asia, distinguished by their slender bodies, long legs, and often striking horns. They are herbivores, grazing on grasses and leaves, and inhabit varied environments such as savannas, forests, and deserts. Antelopes play crucial roles in their ecosystems as prey for predators and as grazers that maintain plant balance. There are over 90 species, ranging from small duikers to large gazelles, each adapted to specific habitats. Their diversity reflects evolutionary adaptations for survival in different terrains and climates.
