what is the exact difference between a deer and an antelope?

Answer 1

One has four letters and the other has eight letters. Oh and if it helps, Deer starts with D and Antelope with A.

Answer 2

"Antelopes" are a polyphyletic group of herbivorous African and Asian animals of the family Bovidae, distinguished by a pair of hollow horns on their heads. These animals are spread relatively evenly throughout the various subfamilies of Bovidae; many are more closely related to cows or goats than to each other. There are many different species of antelope, ranging in size from the tiny royal antelope to the giant eland. They typically have a light, elegant figure, are slender, have graceful limbs, small cloven hoofs and a short tail. Antelopes have powerful hindquarters and, when startled, run with a peculiar bounding stride that makes them look as though they are bouncing over the terrain like a giant rabbit. Some species of antelope can reach speeds of 60 miles (100 kilometers) per hour, making them among the fastest of land animals.



A "DEER" is a ruminant mammal belonging to the family Cervidae. A number of broadly similar animals, from related families within the order Artiodactyla, are often also called deer.
Depending on their species, male deer are called stags, harts, bucks or bulls, and females are called hinds, does or cows. Young deer are called calves or fawns.
Deer differ from other ruminants in that they have antlers instead of horns.Antlers are bony growths that develop each year and, in general, it is only male deer that develop them. A doe generally has one or two fawns at a time.Deer generally have lithe, compact bodies and long, powerful legs suited for rugged woodland terrain. Deer are also excellent swimmers. Their lower cheek teeth have crescent ridges of enamel, which enable them to grind a wide variety of vegetation. Deer are ruminants or cud-chewers and have a four-chambered stomach. Nearly all deer have a facial gland in front of each eye.There are about 34 species of deer worldwide,

Answer 3

You need to be more specific. Are you speaking of the american Pronghorn Antelope? Or typical african/asian antelopes? The Pronghorn Antelope is a very unique animal and there is nothing like it in the world. There's tons of varieties of deer around the globe which are all similar in general characteristics to each other, as are the typical antelopes (african and asian) all fairly similar to each other. Hard to answer this question without knowing which you are asking about.

Answer 4

An antelope is slightly smaller and has light brown coat while a deer is a darker brown coat. Another difference is the antlers, antelope's antlers will not grow as big as a deer antler.

Answer 5

Deers differ from antelopes in that they have antlers instead of horns.

Antlers are bony growths that develop each year (usually in summer) and, in general, it is only male deer that develop them
(although there are exceptions). A young buck's first pair of antlers grow from two tiny bumps on their head that they have
had from birth. The antlers grow wrapped in a thick layer of velvet and remain that way for one month, until the bone inside
is hard; later the velvet is shed

whereas horn is one of the hard, usually permanent structures projecting from the head consisting of a bony core covered with a sheath of keratinous material.

Answer 6

Antelope: any of several ruminants of the family Bovidae, chiefly of Africa and Asia, having permanent, HOLLOW, UNBRANCHED HORNS (these are permanent).

Deer: any of several ruminants of the family Cervidae, which have SOLID, deciduous ANTLERS (meaning they can fall off and grow new ones, and they can be branched).
