Cuvier’s gazelle — size comparison — facts and sources

Cuvier's gazelle is associated with North Africa's Atlas Mountains. It inhabits stony plateaus and uses pine and oak forests for cover. It also occurs in scrub and valleys. Populations may differ in mobility: some remain local while others move between favourable areas.

It eats grasses, herbs and shrub leaves. During the day it often stays in scrub, emerging onto more open feeding grounds at night. It may also visit crops. Food distribution and shelter availability influence space use and when it leaves denser vegetation.

It usually forms small mixed groups. Males occupy territories during mating and mark them with dung and gland secretions. Group size and the intensity of area defence depend on season.
