Antelopes are graceful, herbivorous mammals belonging to the family Bovidae. They are primarily found in Africa and parts of Asia, where they inhabit grasslands, savannas, and open woodlands. Antelopes are known for their long legs and slender bodies, which help them run quickly to escape predators. There are over 90 species of antelopes, each with unique adaptations and characteristics. These animals are social creatures, often living in herds that provide safety in numbers. Antelopes communicate through various vocalizations and body language. Some well-known species include the gazelle, impala, and oryx, each playing a vital role in their ecosystems by grazing on vegetation and serving as prey for larger predators.
