Many people overlook antelope, yet I find them nearly as fascinating as birds. There are so many species and antelope subspecies that they are a fun challenge for a list-maker like me. Their variety is almost as incredible, though not as colorful. Their movement through the landscape, jumping, bounding, kicking, and hiding, is as beautiful as a bird in flight. The Antelope of Africa is a great book listing all the different antelope and detailed information about their status, range, and other information. Currently, I count 32 species or subspecies of African Antelope I’ve observed.
