What is the defense mechanism for antelope?

Answer 1

First level of defense for an antelope is to run away.

Second level of defense for some antelope is to use their horns as an offensive weapon. The Impala for instance has a name derived from 'impale' as it has been known to kill lions by doing just that to them.

They also have a brownish fur. The brownish fur acts as camouflage when they stand in one spot and look around if they sense danger.

Answer 2

Buffalos respond to threats by either charging at its threat or remaining still until the threat passes. This did not bode well for the buffalos of the 19th century, whose numbers dwindled from 30 million in the 16th century all the way to about 1,000 buffalo in 1890. Buffalos numbers have increased sense then and more efforts to conserve their lives have been made.

Answer 3

they are known to be ready fast and because they are so big and heavy its hard for one predator (like a tiger) to kill quickly, they will also use their horns if they are being attacked and occasionally kick their back legs like a horse.

Answer 4
