The Elegant Grants!

The Grant's gazelle (Nanger granti) is a species of gazelle distributed from northern Tanzania to South Sudan and Ethiopia, and from the Kenyan coast to Lake Victoria. Its Swahili name is Swala Granti.

The Grant's gazelle looks similar to a Thomson's gazelle, except it is much larger and has lyre-shaped horns which are stout at the base, clearly ringed, and measuring 45–81 cm long.

Grant's gazelles are extremely fast; they can run 80 km/h but larger males do not exceed 72 km/h.

 

The elegant Grant's Gazelle were captured on a photography safari during an early morning game drive in Amboseli National Park, Kenya.
