Description
This Dama Gazelle at the National Zoo in Washington, DC, is one of only a few such animals left in the world. Also known as the Addra Gazelle, this is the largest of all gazelles. It is also the world's rarest and is considered an endangered species.
This large gazelle has a slender neck and legs, and somewhat S-shaped horns. It is white with reddish-brown coloring, but the pattern varies by region. Dama gazelles in the western part of their range are more reddish-brown than those in the east. Coloration also varies by age and season. The head is typically pale. They may lead a solitary life or live in a group of up to 15 individuals. Dama gazelles may stand on their hind legs to eat from acacia trees and other plants as high as six feet from the ground.
