The sand gazelle, also known as the Arabian gazelle, is a medium-sized antelope found primarily in the deserts of North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. It has a light tan coat that helps it blend into its sandy environment, and its long legs are adapted for swift running to escape predators. These gazelles are herbivores, primarily feeding on grasses and shrubs. They are well-adapted to arid conditions, able to survive without drinking water for long periods by obtaining moisture from their food. Their social structure typically includes small herds, which provide protection against threats.
