Revision as of 10:50, 23 February 2018 by Lacrossedeamon(talk | contribs)(Gazelle isn’t monophylitic at the genus level; the term technically also includes Procapra but since those live on the Asian steppes I left it out. All fall under the tribe antelopini, along with a few other non-gazelle genera.)
A gazelle is any of the species of small antelopes within the genera Gazella, Eudorcas, or Nanger. Native to Africa and the western half of Asia, like many animals, its pelt could be used to craft leather armor. In the 1st century BCE, gazelle hooves were in demand in Egypt.
