Gazelles can sprint up to 60 miles per hour! That’s almost as fast as a car on the highway.

Gazelles don’t just run straight. They zigzag to confuse and escape predators chasing them.

Gazelles live in herds that can be small or very large. Staying in groups helps keep them safe.

Gazelle babies, called fawns, hide quietly in tall grass, staying very still while their mom finds food nearby.

Their tan and white coats help gazelles blend into dry grasslands, making it hard for predators to spot them.

When they sense danger, some gazelles raise the white patch on their tails to warn others nearby.

When in danger, gazelles leap high into the air in a move called stotting to show predators they are strong and hard to catch.

During a drought, some gazelles can lower their heart rate and body temperature to save water and energy.
