Order | Artiodactyla |
Family | Bovidae |
The Antilopini tribe are medium-sized Bovids which are highly evolved for a cursorial existence in open environments. There is little sexual dimorphism in body size or coloration. Horns are generally present in both sexes of this tribe, but they are lacking in females of some genera. There are often striking markings on the face, flanks, and/or rump. The mating system of all species is polygynous. The Antilopini traditionally includes the genus Procapra. However, the three species in this genus appear to be as different from the gazelles as they are from the dwarf antelope - no new tribe has yet been ascribed to these antelope.
