The life of an antelope is rarely easy, tackling extreme weather, rivers, fire and predators of all shapes and sizes.
For many of us the word ‘antelope’ is a blanket term for all the grass-eaters of the African savanna but look closer and you’ll discover a remarkably diverse group of animals. And while they represent food to many hunters, there is so much more to antelope than ready meals for meat eaters. In fact there are nearly one hundred different species that come under the ‘antelope’ banner, and in all shapes and sizes. Some species are easy to miss, the little dik-dik being barely the size of a house cat, while eland weigh in at more than half a ton. And though we might initially place antelope in Africa, there are representatives roaming through a huge swathe of the planet – from the Mongolian Plateau in Asia to the southern cape of South Africa. Wherever you find them, these remarkable animals are the unsung heroes of the plains.
