Grant's Gazelle

 

There are three subspecies of Grant’s gazelle. This species of gazelle resemble Thomson's gazelles, who we seen later in our safari, but are noticeably larger and easily distinguished by the broad white patch on the rump that extends upward onto the back.

Some varieties of Grant's have a black stripe on each side of the body like the Thomson's, but all have a black stripe that runs down the thigh. In others, the stripe is very light or absent.

Their lyre-shaped horns are stout at the base, clearly ringed and measuring 50 to 80 centimeters long (20 to 31 inches). Females have black skin surrounding the teats with white hair on the udder.
