The shiny, white and rusty red coat effectively reflects sunlight while the incredibly long legs provide extra surface area to the already larger gazelle body. These large surface areas dissipate more heat and help them stay cool in hot desert conditions. The legs and underparts of the body are also white to reflect heat from the warm desert sand and their legs are also exceptionally long and lift the body higher from the warm sand.
