Soemmerring’s gazelle — size comparison — facts and sources

Soemmerring's gazelle inhabits open plains of the Horn of Africa. Grasslands are interspersed with thorny shrubs that diversify the landscape. It is adapted to dry conditions and limited water availability. Contrasting markings distinguish its face and rump.

It feeds mainly on grasses and herbs. Good feeding grounds are highly important to territorial males.

These areas are marked with dung accumulations among other signs. The male defends resource access against rivals, and females in his territory may join a group. Females form herds whose size depends on habitat openness and productivity. Young males may live in bachelor groups, while mature males are more often solitary.
