Description: The slender-horned gazelle can survive in both stony and sandy desert. Its hooves are broadened for ease of travel over sand and it can obtain all of its water from the plants it eats, but will drink if water is available. Other adaptations for desert survival include the pale pelage and a special structure in the nose for cooling blood.

To avoid the heat of the day, slender-horned gazelles feed during the night and early morning. They range widely in search of food, usually traveling in herds of 3 to 10 animals.

Slender-horned Gazelle

The slender-horned gazelle (Gazella leptoceros) is the most desert adapted of
all of the gazelle species.  Once very common in the Sahara, the
slender-horned gazelle ranged from Algeria to Sudan.  Over-hunting has
drastically reduced the population of this gazelle.  Only scattered
populations of slender-horned gazelles may still exist in the wild and some
authorities believe that the animal only survives in captivity.
