antelope definition and meaning

What is "antelope"?

Antelope refers to a group of herbivorous mammals that belong to the Bovidae family, which includes goats, sheep, and cattle. They are found in various habitats across Africa, Asia, and North America. Antelopes vary in size, from small species such as the dik-dik to large species such as the eland. Most antelopes are known for their slender legs and graceful movements, which enable them to run fast and maneuver quickly in their natural environment. They have a keen sense of hearing and eyesight, which helps them detect predators such as lions, leopards, and hyenas. Antelopes feed on a variety of plants and grasses and are an important food source for predators and humans alike.
