羚羊 (reiyō): any species of antelope, such as the gemsbok shown here.

Wikipedia has articles on:

レイヨウ (Japanese)
Antelope (English)

Appears to be an orthographic borrowing from Chinese 羚羊 (língyáng), to which the regular Middle Chinese-derived Japanese on'yomi pronunciation was applied. First attested in Japanese in the first half of the 1500s.^[1]
