How many gazelles are there left in the wild?

1700 is not very accurate. The Dama Gazelle population just one of three main subspecies of gazelle has about 2000 alone. So although the Dama gazelle is endangered, when you add that to the other 2 main sub species you get much more then 1700.

What eats the Thompson Gazelle?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Thompsons gazelles' can run pretty quick at about 45 mph, few animals can catch them. Cheetahs are the main predator of the thompsons gazelle. Cheetahs eat them because they are small, slow to a cheetah, and are not very strong. The leopard is also a predator of the thompsons gazelle. Instead of a long chase the leopard waits for the gazelle to come to him. African wild dogs hunt in packs and can easily take down a thompsons gazelle. Baboons will target young or sick or slow moving adults. Hyenas are not fast enough to catch a thompsons gazelle. Jackals may look small, but they are just as fast and nimble as a thompsons gazelle, but they take some time to overpower the gazelle. Lions catch them when they can. Crocodiles very easily snatch gazelles when they are drinking or when in the water. Don't underestimate the thompsons gazelle though. They can escape a cheetah if they really need to. They are more agile and nimble then a cheetah. They are able to make a full u turn while being chased, and can keep running after a cheetah has already stopped.

Why are the eyes of the gazelle on the side of its head?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Animals that are victims of predators usually have their eyes towards the side of their heads because this provides a large (360 degree) field of vision. This allows them to spot predators coming from any direction. Most herbivorous animals have eyes on the sides of their head, including the rhinoceros, parrots, deer, rabbits and horses.

On the other hand, acute stereo vision is required by most predators, whose eyes tend to be closer to the front of their heads such as eagles, lions and dogs.

What is the difference between a stag and an antelope?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A pronghorn, which nearly every person in modern day life will call an antelope, is in fact a completely different and unique species than the antelope. Like I said, nearly every person these days will tell you it's an antelope but without knowing it those people are wrong. Just because the vast majority of people all agree on one this still doesn't change what it really is.

Why do gazelles live in herds?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Wildebeest, Zebras and Gazelles are found in herds because of protection from predators such as lions. With increased numbers there is less likely a chance the predator will succeed because of all the movement, except with old or weakened animals. It also has to do with camouflage, such as with the Zebra. When in a large heard their black and white stripes intermix and it confuses the predator about where one starts and one stops.
