The New International Encyclopædia/Goat Antelope

GOAT ANTELOPE. A term applied by zoölogists to a group of ruminants having characteristics that join them to the goats on one side and the antelopes on the other; most of them, individually described elsewhere, have a more or less goat-like build, goat-like teeth, short tails, relatively small cylindrical horns, and no beards. The group includes the genus Cemas of the Himalayan region (see Goral.); the genus Nemorhædus of Southeastern Asia, including the cambing-utan of Sumatra, etc. (see Serow); the Tibetan genus Budorcas (see Takin); the genus Rupicapra of the European Alps (see Chamois); and the genus Orcamnus or Haploceros, which contains the white, woolly goats of Northwestern America (see Rocky Mountain White Goat). See Plate of Goat Antelopes.
