Antellop

Strong hunters movie   There are 91 species of Antelope and the vast majority of these live in Africa. The word 'antelope' is an example of something called wastebasket taxon, which means that it is a word that classifies animals that do not fit into any other similar group. Antelopes are defined by being similar to, but not the same as, sheep, cattle or goats.

This means that there is a lot of diversity among different species of antelopes, and they live in a wide variety of habitats from mountainous regions and swamplands to grasslands and savannahs. There are no species of antelope that are native to Australasia, Antarctica, North America or South America.

Antelopes are popular for hunting, and for this reason several species have been imported to the Americas for use as game. Most of these are kept in reserves, but there are some wild antelope in warmer areas of America that have escaped and thrived, particularly in Texas.

What is the Antelope Habitat?

Antelopes have a wide range of habitats depending on the species. These include plains, grasslands, woodlands, deserts, savannahs and swamps. Each variety of antelope has adaptations that make it suitable to its habitat, and to protect against the predators that live there.

Different adaptations that antelopes have depending on their habitat include the antelope's horns, legs and hooves. Antelopes that live in flat areas have flat hooves, while antelopes that live in rocky or mountainous areas have hooves that are adapted for climbing.
