Antelope. #23

  
Antelopes occur in much of Australia, Africa and Asia with the highest concentration of species occurring in East Africa in Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya, and Tanzania. These are for example the gazelles, blackbucks, springboks, gerenuks, dibatags and Central Asian gazelles.

Antelopes live in different types of habitats: a large part chooses forests or savannas, but also areas that are difficult to survive.

They are characterized by light body build, small head, long neck and long limbs. Usually only males have short corners.
It is worth remembering that gazelle is the colloquial name for smaller antelopes.

And antelopes are the colloquial name of 91 species of cloven-hoofed mammals belonging to the bovidae family and one species of the widłorogli family.

Thank you for reading my post. See you later.
