GOATANTELOPE

Goat-antelope

A goat-antelope, or caprid, is any of the species of mostly medium-sized bovids that make up the subfamily Caprinae, part of the Bovidae family of ruminants. The domestic sheep and domestic goat are both part of the goat-antelope group by its widest definition, but some taxonomists prefer to use the term only for members of the Caprinae that are not members of the tribe Caprini . The term "goat-antelope" does not mean that these animals are true antelopes: a true antelope is a bovid with a cervid-like or antilocaprid-like morphology.
