Antelope Profile & Pic`s 2011

Antelope is a term referring to many even-toed ungulate species indigenous to various regions in Africa and Eurasia. The term refers to a ‘miscellaneous’ group within the family encompassing the old-world species which are not cattle, sheep, buffalo, bison, or goats. A group of antelope is called a herd.[1]
The Pronghorn of North America, though sometimes known colloquially as Pronghorn Antelope, is not a member of the family Bovidae, but the family Antilocapridae and not a true antelope. No antelope species are native to the Americas. True antelope have horns which are unbranched and never shed. Pronghorns have branching horns, of which they shed the outer horny sheaths annually.
