What is the name for a baby antelope

[Oriana]

[LoftyLottie]

A 'Fawn'. As for all the deer family.

[rowanwitch]

I thought the antelopes were cattle family hence calf I am going to check now as not sure

[Sqad]

It's called a kid.............no kidding!!

[rowanwitch]

just checked a couple of sites definitely calf

[Sqad]

rowan... I thought a "calf" was a "young " antelope, not a baby.

I could well be wrong though.

As Rowanwitch said...... calf.

Whatever it is it will be called cute

[Oriana]

Thankyou all very much I think it might be kid but further research needed!

[LoftyLottie]

I must admit to checking my answer on Google. On checking again I actually think rowanwitch is correct, but they seem to be called either 'fawn' or 'calf'. Calf then would be correct.
Aparently though their are equine antelopes and bovine antelopes.. So am now wondering if their are also foals.

Thankyou again I now think it is calf or calf is the safest option.
