Description
Robert’s gazelle (Gazella granti robertsi) is a subspecies of Grant’s gazelle, native to parts of East Africa. These elegant antelopes are known for their slender build, long lyre-shaped horns, and swift speed, adapted to evade predators across the savannas and open plains. They are primarily grazers, feeding on grasses and herbs, and can survive in arid areas by deriving moisture from plants.
