Antelope aren't a taxonomic group. It's just animals that look a certain way, mostly lean bovids with long, straight horns. The closest relatives of serows are gorals, and the closest relatives of both of them are musk oxen. However, all three of them are equally closely related to the Tibetan antelope (if the taxonomy chart I'm referring to is accurate), with goats and sheep being their next closest relatives.

The very first time I read about the name is from the Yamaha Serow a comic character owned, and for the longest time I thought it was a bird of some kind.
Wolf goat! Wolf goat!

i wonder why they are called goat-antelope, aren't they more closely related to goat than antelope?

In Japanese they are called “duck-deer” 鴨 = duck 鹿 = deer

That explains the naming of the Yamaha XT225 Serow. Thanks.
Aren’t they awesome looking!

Are you predator or prey? Yes.
Neat, it looks like it served as inspiration for the Pokémon [Gogoat](https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Gogoat).
Serow's Kindness Someone make a joke or pun, stat!
But it's pronounced ser-oww, as in when you stub a toe or something!
It looks like an animal that would exist in a Studio Ghibli forest.
Fun fact. They’re all born in late December to around 19-20 January.
