Cuvier's Gazelle

Description:

Cuvier’s Gazelle is a fairly robust gazelle, larger than the Dorcas and Slender-horned Gazelles. The hair is rather long, rough and coarse. The general colour of the coat is dull fawn, darker than that of the Dorcas Gazelle. Face markings are distinct. The central band is brownish fawn, with a black patch on the top of its nose. The front of the muzzle is white. A dark line joints the mouth to the eye. There is a brown band, darker than the back, along the flanks. The belly and rump patch are white, the rump patch surrounded by a fairly indistinct dark band. The tail is black. The horns are long, thick in the male, strongly annulated, fairly straight, rising vertically before diverging slightly out and back; the smooth tips curving in and forwards.
