Gazelle are a part of the Antelope family that inhabit regions of Africa and Asia and live up to 12 years in the wild. The name Gazelle comes from the Arabic word "Gazal" which means love poem. There are 19 species of Gazelle which include those such as the Thomson's Gazelle, Eudorcas Thomsonii and the Speke's Gazelle, Gazella Spekei which are two of the smallest of the Gazelle species. These creatures stand up to 43 inches at the shoulder while only weighing between 26 and 165 pounds. The largest Gazelle species is the Dama Gazelle, Addra Gazelle, which stands at 5.5 feet at the shoulder and weighs up to 165 pounds. Other species include the endangered Cuvier's Gazelle and the Slender-horned Gazelle. The Cuvier's Gazelle, also known as the Edmi Gazelle, is the only gazelle that lives in the mountain, migrating to warmer regions in the wintertime, and can grow horns as long as 13 inches. The hot savannas and deserts of Africa and Asia are perfect habitats for the Gazelle. These creatures have adapted to the extreme environment by shrinking their heart and liver. This adaptation of smaller hearts and liver require less oxygen. Breathing can result in an animal losing water, so being able to breathe less means they lose less water. Amazingly, some gazelle can live their entire lives and never drink any water. These herbivores browse the savannas for grasses, leaves, and shoots of plants. These plants can often provide additional sources of water for the gazelle. They have been known to stand on their back legs in order to reach leaves in the branches of trees. A gazelle's speed comes in handy in order to escape from predators. They can reach up to 60 mph in short bursts and keep higher speeds of up to 40 mphs for longer amounts of time. Bounding leaps called 'stotting' or 'pronking' occur during running where the gazelle will stiffly leap into the air with all four feet. Highly sociable, Gazelle herds can number up to 700 individuals. At times, these herds can be smaller and contain only one gender such as the Thomson's Gazelles which number up to 30 females and their young while the males live with other males in a herd called a bachelor's herd. When concerning these separated horns, a baby gazelle will stay with their mother until they are ready to fend for themselves and the male calves join the bachelor's herd instead. The breeding season will occur during the rainy season so that these newborns will have plenty of water to drink. A female gazelle will have only one or two newborns, called fawns or calves, at a time. They are often hid in tall grasses when the gazelle's are threatened by predators.
