A '''grazing antelope''' is any of the [[species]] of [[antelope]] that make up the [[subfamily]] '''Hippotraginae''' or [[Tribe (biology)|tribe]] '''Hippotragini'''<ref>{{Citation|last=Database|first=Mammal Diversity|title=Mammal Diversity Database|date=2021-11-06|doi=10.5281/zenodo.5651212 |url=https://zenodo.org/record/5651212|access-date=2022-01-30}}</ref> of the [[family (biology)|family]] [[Bovidae]]. They are grazers, rather than browsers.  Their name comes from Greek ἵππος (híppos), "horse", and τράγος (trágos), "he-goat".  They have slightly horse-like characteristics of body size and proportions: long legs and a solid body with a relatively thick muscular neck.
