Antilocapridae Family
A single modern species is found in the family Antilocapridae, but the group has a fossil record going back to the Miocene. During its history, the Antilocapridae has included a diverse array of species (especially during the Pliocene and Pleistocene), some of which had multiple and bizarre horns. [eng] |

Pronghorn
While pronghorns are sometimes referred to as "pronghorn antelope", and their genus name Antilocapra means "antelope goat", pronghorns are not "true" antelope like the antelope species of Africa and Asia. [eng] |
