The genus ''Tragelaphus'' contains several species of bovine, all of which are relatively antelope-like. Species in this genus tend to be large sized, lightly built, have long necks and considerable sexual dimorphism. The common eland (''Taurotragus oryx'') was once classified in this genus as ''T. oryx''. The name "Tragelaphus" comes from the mythical tragelaph. A common synonym is genus ''Strepsiceros'', which refers to the same set of African antelopes.〔(Integrated Taxonomic Information System )〕 ==Species== The genus ''Tragelaphus'' currently consists of the following species:〔(Animal Diversity Web )〕 *Bongo (''Tragelaphus eurycerus'') *Greater kudu (''Tragelaphus strepsiceros'') *Imbabala (''Tragelaphus sylvaticus'') see Bushbuck *Kéwel (''Tragelaphus scriptus'') *Lesser kudu (''Tragelaphus imberbis'') *Mountain nyala (''Tragelaphus buxtoni'') *Nyala (''Tragelaphus angasii'') *Sitatunga (''Tragelaphus spekii'') 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tragelaphus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
