Antelopes stamp catalogue

1,722 items

Antelopes belong to the cave-horned family (Bovidae). However, it is not a homogeneous group. Most species live in Africa. In addition, antelopes are found in Asia. There are more than 90 species. They mainly inhabit the steppes and savannas, but are also found in deserts, mountains and in the rainforest.
Some antelopes such as the Kudu and the Eland are more closely related to cows than to the true antelopes (Anthilopinae). Divers (Cephalophinae), impalas (Aepycerotinae), cow antelopes (Alcelaphinae), horse antelopes (Hippotraginae) and reed and waterbuck (Reduncinae) are also considered antelopes. Only in the subfamily of goats (Caprinae), which includes sheep and goats, are no antelopes found. The Gaffelbok, also known as the Gaffelantelope, does not belong to the antelope.
