Skinny legs blur ... Split hooves fly ... Meet the antelope! Brimming with vivid photos and scientific facts, Antelopes treats middle-grade researchers and wild animal lovers to a comprehensive profile of the marvelous members in this group of African mammals, from gazelles to wildebeest. It covers zoology topics such as anatomy, diet, habitat, and life cycle, as well as species conservation efforts and the animal's relationship with humans throughout history. Sidebars, a range map, and a glossary support the main text, while an antelope tale from South Africa adds a cross-curricular cultural layer to the title.
