Caprinae - online puzzles

Subfamily Caprinae is part of the ruminant family Bovidae, and consists of mostly medium-sized bovids. A member of this subfamily is called a caprine. A member is also sometimes referred to as a goat - antelope, however, this term " goat - antelope " does not mean that these animals are true antelopes: a true antelope is a bovid with a cervid- like or antilocaprid- like morphology.

Within this subfamily Caprinae, a prominent tribe Caprini includes sheep, goat, and ibex.

Some earlier taxonomies considered Caprinae a separate family called Capridae (whence a caprid), but now it is usually considered a subfamily within the family Bovidae, whence a caprine is a kind of bovid.
