| | ANTELOPE, |
 | | The term antelope does not designate a sharply defined group; members of the group are included in all the five subfamilies of Bovidae: the Bovinae, the Cephalophinae, the Hippotraginae, the Antilopinae, and the Caprinae. |
 | | Antelope of the subfamily Bovinae are the oxlike giant eland; the kudu; the broad-horned, elusive bongo; the East African dik-dik, the smallest in this subfamily; the shy four-horned antelope; the marshbuck, or sitatunga; the nyala; and the nilgai, or blue bull, which is revered in India for its color. |
 | | The subfamily Antilopinae contains the small antelopes: the surefooted klipspringer (Afrik., “rock jumper”), the spike-horned grysbok, the suni, and the tiny royal antelope, which, despite its small size, can leap about 3 m (about 9 ft). |
