@headly66 Term antelope referring to many even toed ungulate species.North American pronghorn antelope is not a true antelope but is of the family antilocapridae.This song was written in the 1870's when people were not as educated or so anal as people today.Thank you

@kristinlukow I'm guessing you mean the "pronghorn". Pronghorns are not antelopes even if you call them antelopes.

@ozerataoglu Nice New Vegas reference

Where the Molerats and the Fire Geckos claim...

They are Pronghorn Antelope, but wouldn't that sound retarded in the song. Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam, and the deer and pronghorn antelope play. What you are saying is correct, but I say fail, because it doesn't matter.

@tarquin45 Not a good point. There were back in the day...at least is what they called them. This song is entirely accurate. Do a little research. Wow.

@TheGranule Thank you for agreeing that there are no antelope in the Americas.

We have Pronghorn Antelope. thought technically not an antelope yet that is what the song is referring to.
Go to California. You will see Antelope Valley, Antelope Hills, and other place names that indicate that Pronghorns were very common until the turn of the last century. Nowadays, travel through Colorado, Wyoming and Montana and you can't avoid seeing the Pronghorn Antelope.
Are you an American, or an Easterner that you don't know this?

@tarquin45 ..lol. I had to think twice on what 'aongwriter' meant.

@headly66
You've made a good point headly66. How could the aongwriter make such a mistake?
