The farm and The Wild Animal Park are both owned by Jeff Taylor, but police said the antelope were privately held on the farm and were not a part of the zoo.

Police said a farm employee accidentally left a gate open, allowing the African animals to escape.

One of the antelope was captured Thursday, while the other was last seen running down Lakeport Road.
