Questions and Answers

What are an antelope’s horns used for?
Horns may help an antelope defend itself or compete with members of its own species. Their role differs according to the species and situation.
Why are the ears so large and upright?
Large, movable ears collect sounds and help the animal identify where they come from. This can provide an early warning when another animal approaches.
Do all antelopes have curved horns?
No. Antelope horns can be straight, curved, spiral-shaped, or slightly bent, and some species have horns only in males while others have them in both sexes.
