Great gazelles pictures ! But could you tell me which species of gazelle it is? Thank you

Good question, Brent. Generally, I can tell you the answer, but because this is a baby and I cannot see horn ridges and hooves, it's a bit confusing. They don't always have the same distinctive markings.

My initial thought is baby Impala or Grant's Gazelle. No black marks on the belly like a Thompsons.

How I identify? Well, I have field guides and you look for distinct markings as well as location of the animal. In a zoo (instead of native habitat), I often find I need to read the sign.

Of course, at this very moment, I am in the process of moving, and thus all my books are in transit! I will try to get back to this when my guides get here.
