The Elegant, Sensitive, and Fast Antelope

Antelopes are deer-like herbivores that vary enormously in size, depending on the species. They have long legs, a slender neck, and large ears. A universal feature of male antelopes is a pair of permanent horns used to fend off predators and establish dominance among members of the same species. Antelopes come in multiple shades of brown and gray ranging from beige to black with light and dark markings on the face and the body for camouflaging. Antelopes have adapted to many different ecological niches and so vary in their size, shape, locomotion, diet, social organization, and antipredator strategy. They are herbivores and have level backs with long, equally developed limbs for maximum speed. Despite the diversity of adaptations, there is a marked difference between antelopes of closed habitats and those of open habitats. Antelopes are known for their elegance, high energy, and communication skills. 

If your power animal is the antelope, you are highly adaptable, intelligent, and able to survive in any environment. You display great speed, agility, and grace both physically and mentally. You’re quick-witted and can think on your feet, enabling you to deal with any situation you find yourself in. Your curiosity is intense, and you are full of questions. Though shy, you don’t like to be alone. You always seek out the company of those you feel comfortable with. You live very much in the present just waiting to burst out in communication with others. You have a very active imagination and your ability to sense danger is highly developed. Your sound judgment makes any actions you take successful. The antelope is a symbol of sensitive movement and safe survival.
