roanantilop/hästantilop


Explanation:
Det ursprungliga svenska namnet är hästantilop. Roanantilop är en försvensking av det engelska namnet Roan antelope men har under senare tid blivit ett accepterat namn även i svenskan. Således är det bara att välja ett av dem. Idag är det dock förmodligen betydligt fler som känner till namnet roanantilop än det äldre hästantilop.
