https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VenisonDefinition
Venison originally described meat of any game animal killed by hunting, and was applied to any animal from the families Cervidae (deer), Leporidae (hares), and Suidae (wild pigs), and certain species of the genus Capra (goats and ibex), but in the northern hemisphere the word's usage is now almost entirely restricted to the flesh of various species of deer.
In Southern Africa, the word venison refers to the meat of antelope. There are no native Cervidae in sub-Saharan Africa
