- Wildebeest (Connochaetes): Also known as gnus, Wildebeests are large antelopes that live in the plains and open woodlands of Africa, particularly the Serengeti in Tanzania and Kenya. They are known for their annual migration, one of the world's most spectacular wildlife events.

- Sable Antelope (Hippotragus niger): The Sable Antelope is a large, robust antelope found in the savannah woodlands of eastern and southern Africa. They are known for their impressive ringed horns, which can reach lengths of up to 165 cm.
- Gerenuk (Litocranius walleri): The Gerenuk, also known as the giraffe gazelle, is a long-necked antelope that inhabits the dry bushy scrub and steppe in East Africa. They are known for their unique ability to stand on their hind legs and stretch their long necks to reach leaves and shoots higher up in the trees.
- Oryx (Oryx): Oryxes are large antelopes that live in the arid regions of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. They are known for their long, straight horns and a distinctive shoulder bump, and their ability to survive in extremely hot, harsh environments.

- Dik-Dik (Madoqua): The Dik-Dik is one of the smallest antelopes and is found in the bushlands of eastern and southern Africa. They are known for their monogamous habits and the distinctive 'dik-dik' sound they make when threatened, which is how they got their name.
The Pronghorn, often referred to as the "American Antelope," is native to North America. However, it's important to note that while the Pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) is often colloquially referred to as an antelope, it is not a true antelope in the biological sense. The Pronghorn is the only surviving member of the Antilocapridae family, whereas true antelopes belong to the Bovidae family.
The Pronghorn is found in western and central North America, ranging from southern Canada to northern Mexico. It is known for its impressive speed (it is the second-fastest land animal, next to the cheetah) and its unique branching horns, which have a forward-facing prong, hence the name "Pronghorn".
