5 Interesting Facts About Gazelles!

Gazelles perform a bizarre behaviour called stotting - they leap high into the air with stiff legs when a predator is nearby. Scientists believe this signals to the predator that this particular gazelle is fit, fast and not worth chasing.
Thomson's gazelle can reach speeds of 80km/h and sustain 50km/h over long distances - which is why even cheetahs, the fastest land animals, only catch about half the gazelles they chase.
Baby gazelles can stand within minutes of birth and run within hours - essential when you live on a savannah full of hungry predators.
Gazelles have scent glands in front of their eyes that they rub against grass and branches to mark their territory - leaving invisible chemical messages for other gazelles.
Some gazelle species migrate in herds of hundreds of thousands - the annual wildebeest migration in East Africa also includes enormous numbers of gazelles moving alongside.
