In 1949 central Arizona many wild animals ranged (roamed) freely across the vast empty government owned landscapes. Then, they also grazed with ranchers cattle and horses. Plus deer, elk and their foraging type animals. These "other " foragers outnumbered the privately owned livestock by over 100 to one during those days.
I personally have counted herds of antelope numbering in the 100.s. Near Rimrock Arizona I caught sight of them strung out and jumping over a range fence by the two's, and three's. By counting the the hump in the group as they filed over the fence
it was easy to estimate there were over 300 hundred head.
When driving to town in those days, if you met them at a road crossing and they started to cross - - you just had to stop until they all stampeded madly across like a herd of sheep, or goats. Where one goes in fright they all follow........
This was also the case around Prescott Arizona ranges. Antelope like to graze where they can see for long distances, and always migrate North in the Summer for grass in the mountains above 5,000 foot elevations.. THE LAST DK COWBOY
on the range, where the deer and the antelope play
A deer, perhaps? From "Home on the Range"... "Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam, Where the deer and the antelope play;"
Home home on the range where the deer and the antelope play where seldom is heared but a ...not necessary.
The range is where the buffalo roam, and they can watch the deer and antelope play; so they find it to be very moo-ving.
Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam And the deer and the antelope play Where seldom is heard a discouraging word And the skies are not cloudy all day Home, home on the range Where the deer and the antelope play Where seldom is heard a discouraging word And the skies are not cloudy all day How often at night when the heavens are bright With the light from the glittering stars Have I stood there amazed and asked as I gazed If their glory exceeds that of ours Home, home on the range Where the deer and the antelope play Where seldom is heard a discouraging word And the skies are not cloudy all day Where the air is so pure, the zephyrs so free The breezes so balmy and light That I would not exchange my home on the range For all of the cities so bright Home, home on the range Where the deer and the antelope play Where seldom is heard a discouraging word And the skies are not cloudy all day Oh, I love those wild flow'rs in this dear land of ours The curlew, I love to hear scream And I love the white rocks and the antelope flocks That graze on the mountaintops green Home, home on the range Where the deer and the antelope play Where seldom is heard a discouraging word And the skies are not cloudy all day
Oxeneers or the Lion Sleeps When Its Antelope Go Home was created in 2004.
No. There are no antelope in Australia, which is the natural home of the platypus. Even if there were, it is highly unlikely that an antelope would wish to eat a platypus.
The carrying capacity of Antelope Island bison is not known at this time. There is an attempt to get the antelopes closer to their historical range.
Perhaps you should investigate a little further. Antelope, or at least an animal that is CALLED an antelope, run wild in several states. Perhaps you could research "Antelope Island" or Antelope huntng season in several of the western states. I've actually seen several large herds of Antelope in the western states, Idaho and Utah to be specific. But perhaps you know more than everyone else. (The person who wrote this answer needs to get off his/her high-horse. Oh excuse me, his/her high antelope, since this individual frequently studies them galloping on the majestic plains. Seriously, go jump in a lake) To actually answer your question, the antelope referred to in 'Home on the Range' is a pronghorn antelope...which actually isn't a real antelope at all (sort of like how peanuts aren't really nuts...their legumes). The pronghorn is from the family Antilocapridae, while true antelopes are from the family Bovidae. There are no true antelopes native to North America.
Yes, Nevada has quite a few mountain ranges. Some of them are; the Antelope Range, the Cactus Range, and the Belted Range.
