Mountain gazelles are hunted for food in some parts of their range, although hunting mountain gazelles became illegal in Israel in 1955. A 2019 estimate found there are likely 300–1300 gazelles poached annually. [8] As the mountain gazelle's habitat has become a more urban area of the world, there are numerous threats that to the population.

It differs from the red-fronted ...
