Hunting Information:

• Behavior: Grant’s Gazelles are alert, high-strung animals that rely on keen vision and explosive speed to evade predators. Males are often territorial, while females move in herds with young.

• Adaptations: Built for speed and endurance, they can run up to 50 mph and handle extreme heat. They rarely need to drink water, getting hydration from the plants they graze on.

• Preferred Habitat: Open grasslands, savannas, and lightly wooded plains. Their light tan coloring and white rumps help them blend into sun-drenched environments.

• Hunting Tips: Spot and stalk is the preferred method. Long-range shooting is often necessary due to their sharp senses and tendency to keep distance from perceived threats. Use terrain features like termite mounds or tall grass for cover during approach.

• Additional Information: Known for their grace and long-legged build, Grant’s Gazelles are a prized plains game species. Their horns are elegant and symmetrical, and their unique posture and poise make them a standout addition to any trophy collection.
