Thomson's gazelle is the fastes running of the gazelle species,
they can run faster than cheetahs and wild dogs. See more

of Thomson's gazelle is that they can eat grasses that have
been grazed close to the ground by other animals and they

first calf is born in January and the second in July.

gazelle has a larger area around that. The Dorcas Gazelle
lives mainly in the northern parts of Africa across to

Gerenuks are also called giraffe gazelles because they can
curve their spines so they are able to stand straight up
