Thomson's+gazelle

Thomson's gazelles are 60 to 90 cm tall and 13 to 22 kg in weight. In the wild, Thomson's gazelles can live from 10 tp 15 years even though they're preyed on by many animals including the lion. Occasionaly a cheetah will try to catch a gazelle and the Thomson's gazelle usually outlasts the cheetah because it can run for longer distances and can make turns faster and easier. Sadly half the fawns born are lost to predators before they can even become an adult. The Thomson's gazelle is named after the explorer Joseph Thomson and is ofter called the "tommy".
