those deers in africa?
they're called antelopes. you know, "where deer and the antelope reign" (are those the lyrics?)
now, as to specific names, god knows.
Antelopus grassus could work, for a good fake name (after all, Carolus Linneaus is the latin for Carl Linne. spelled wrong, but then, I never was any good at writing in swedish).
good explanation, though.
