Antelope
As in all of Bovidae, all male antelopes have horns, which range from the short spikes of duikers to the corkscrew horns (more than 160 cm [63 inches] long) of the greater Kudu.
Two-thirds of female antelopes bear horns; they are invariably thinner
and usually shorter than those of the male. In gregarious species in
which both sexes regularly associate in mixed herds, the horns are
similarly shaped, and in female oryxes and elands they are often longer.
