antilopina

Antilopina is a subfamily of the family Bovidae, which includes deer, antelopes, and cattle. The subfamily is characterized by its distinctive features, such as the presence of a dewlap (a loose fold of skin under the chin) and the absence of horns in the males. Antilopina is further divided into two tribes: Antilopini and Cephalophini.

The Antilopini tribe includes the true antelopes, which are known for their speed and agility. They are found in various habitats, including grasslands, savannas, and forests. Some examples of Antilopini include the impala, the gazelle, and the oryx.

The Cephalophini tribe includes the duikers and the bushbucks. These animals are smaller in size compared to the true antelopes and are known for their ability to jump and climb trees. They are found in forests and woodlands.

Antilopina is a diverse group of animals that plays an important role in their respective ecosystems. They are preyed upon by various predators, including lions, leopards, and hyenas. In turn, they serve as a food source for many other animals, including birds of prey and scavengers.
