Record number: 7, Textual support number: 1 OBS
antilope d'Amérique : On devrait éviter d'utiliser le terme «antilope» pour nommer cet animal. Bien qu'il appartienne à l'ordre des Artiodactyles, l'antilocapre appartient à la famille des Antilocapridae, tandis que les antilopes, les gazelles, etc. appartiennent à la famille des Bovidae. 4, record 7, French, - antilocapre
