Thomson’s gazelle

Thomson Gazelle is one of the most famous antelopes. It is distributed in savannahs and open grasslands in Africa, especially in the Serengeti National Parks of Kenya and Tanzania. It is a small gazelle with a body length of 80-120 cm, short and stout, good for fighting, herbivores, mainly eating fresh grass. Wild Thomson gazelle can last up to 10-15 years old.

Thomson's Gazelle is good at running, very vigilant, and ran away when there was movement. Good gregarious, often forming the most spectacular herbivores in the world with wildebeests. However, because the purpose of migration of gazelle and wildebeest is different, the route of their migration will not be the same. The rainy season mainly eats fresh grass, and the dry season feeds on plant roots.

The Thomson gazelle can breed throughout the year, 188 days during pregnancy, 1 litter per litter, and the new gazelle weighs 2-3 kg.

The Thomson's gazelle (Eudorcas thomsonii) is one of the best-known gazelles. It is named after explorer Joseph Thomson and is sometimes referred to as a "tommie". It is considered by some to be a subspecies of the red-fronted gazelle and was formerly considered a member of the genus Gazella within the subgenus Eudorcas, before Eudorcas was elevated to genus status. Thomson's gazelles can be found in numbers exceeding 550,000 in Africa and are recognized as the most common type of gazelle in East Africa.
