Grant's gazelle

Grant’s gazelles can reach a height at the shoulder of up to 90 cm and when fully grown may weigh between 45 and 80 kg. Generally, the coat is beige orange with a white belly. Black stripes run down both haunches, marking out the white rump, and the tail is white with a black tuft of hair. The stripes on its flanks are usually inconspicuous. It has an impressive set of horns: measuring on average 55 cm, they may reach up to a maximum of 90 cm long. Stout at the base, clearly ringed, they taper backwards slightly, then the tips shoot upwards. The females look similar to their male counterparts, although a little smaller and their horns are noticeably shorter and slimmer. Numerous subspecies of the Grant’s gazelle may be differentiated according to size, horn shape and coat colour.
