Gazelles are slender, graceful antelopes that are found in Africa and Asia. They belong to the family Bovidae, which includes goats, sheep, and cattle. Gazelles are known for their long, slender legs, which allow them to run at high speeds and make quick turns to avoid predators. They have short, glossy fur that is usually brown or tan in color, and they are characterized by their distinctive curved horns. Gazelles are herbivores, feeding on grasses, leaves, and shoots. They are also social animals, living in herds that can range in size from a few individuals to thousands.
