2. Give the distinguishing characteristics of the different sub-families, with examples of each.
Bovinae
| Bovinae (cattle and spiral-horned antelopes) | |
|---|---|
|
Characteristics: General characteristics include a cloven hoof and usually at least one of the sexes of a species having a true horn.
|
 |
Cephalophinae
| Cephalophinae (Duiker) | |
|---|---|
|
Characteristics: With a slightly arched body and the front legs a little shorter than the hind legs, they are well-shaped to penetrate thickets. They are primarily browsers rather than grazers, eating leaves, shoots, seeds, fruit, buds and bark, and often follow flocks of birds or troops of monkeys to take advantage of the fruit they drop. They supplement their diet with meat: duikers take insects and carrion from time to time, and even stalk and capture rodents or small birds.

| Hippotraginae (grazing antelopes) | |
