Thomson's gazelles are dependent on short grass. [18] Their numbers can be highly concentrated at the beginning of the rains when the grass grows quickly. [18] In the Serengeti, they follow the larger herbivores, such as plains zebras and blue wildebeests as they mow down the taller grasses. [18] In the wild, Thomson's gazelles can live 10–15 ...
The Grant's gazelle looks similar to a Thomson's gazelle, except it is much larger and has lyre-shaped horns which are stout at the base, clearly ringed, and measuring 45–81 cm (18–32 in) long. A useful field mark is the white on the rump that extends over the top of the tail in Grant's but not Thomson's gazelles.
Until recently, the sand gazelle was considered a subspecies of the goitered gazelle (Gazella subgutturosa), as Gazella subgutturosa marica.A 2010 genetic study established that it was a distinct lineage, [2] and it is now considered a separate species. [1]
Arabian gazelles are selective browsers, preferring woody plants over grasses.They predominantly feed on all fours, but may rear up on their hind legs to access higher food. [5] They share their habitat with many other herbivores, including Dorcas gazelles ( Gazella dorcas ), mountain gazelles ( Gazella gazella ), Nubian ibex ( Capra nubiana ...

The gerenuk [a] (Litocranius walleri), also known as the giraffe gazelle, is a long-necked, medium-sized antelope found in parts of East Africa. The sole member of the genus Litocranius , the gerenuk was first described by the naturalist Victor Brooke in 1879.
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.
Eudorcas, sometimes known as the ring-horned gazelles, is a genus of smaller antelope in the Bovidae family. The genus was, originally, considered a subgenus of the genus Gazella , but has since been elevated to its own generic status. [ 1 ]
