Grant's gazelle

Grant's gazelle is a large and heavily built gazelle living in arid areas of east Africa. Both males and females have long, ridged horns although males' are longer and thicker. Grant's gazelles, like most gazelles, form mixed sex groups outside the breeding season. During breeding, males form bachelor groups, or try to defend individual territories. Males mark territories with dung and urine. Grant's gazelle are found in east Africa’s open savannah away from any tall grass that may obscure their view of approaching predators.
