Etymology

Adenota is a scientific genus name that scientists use for a group of African antelopes, including the puku and sometimes the lechwe. A helpful way to remember Adenota is to think of it as a 'family name' for these wetland antelopes, so when you see it you know it means a group of closely related species.
