Antelopes do not form a monophyletic group, as some antelopes are more closely related to other bovid groups, such as Bovini, bovines, goats, and sheep, than to other antelopes. A stricter grouping, known as the true antelopes, includes only the genus, genera ''gazelle, Gazella'', ''Nanger'', ''Eudorcas'', and ''Antilope''. One North American mammal, the pronghorn or "pronghorn antelope", is colloquially referred to as the "American antelope", despite the fact that it belongs to a completely different family (Antilocapridae) than the true Old-World antelopes; pronghorn are the sole extant member of an extinct prehistoric lineage that once included many unique species. Although antelope are sometimes referred to, and e ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
