this beautiful male was seen in Enonkishu Conservancy in the Greater Masai Mara ecosystem, Kenya

 

Grant's Gazelle is significantly larger than its much better known relative, the Thomson's Gazelle which is a very common sight in the Serengeti - Masai Mara region.

These Grant's gazelles are less dependent on water than Thomson's.

About 9 miles out of Queensgate yard in Cincinnati, but only a few miles south of the one-time L&N hub at Decoursey, KY, is Grants Tunnel on the double track "CC" sub of CSX. The initial single-track tunnel was constructed around 1853. The second, parallel bore was constructed in 1912. This train is bound for Knoxville, and eventually Atlanta.

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. It was named for a 19th-century Scottish explorer, Lt Col Grant.

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. The subspecies are segregated by different morphological characters, such as horn shape and slight differences in coat colour. These differences are not indicative of ecological separation as with some species. Grant's gazelles are extremely fast; they can run 80 km/h but larger males do not exceed 72 km/h.

Grants (North Haven) Beach is located on the north side of the Camden Haven River mouth in northern New South Wales. The beach runs north-south for about 3.5 kilometres and is paralleled by a lovely walking track through the littoral forest and heathland. This picturesque beach is a short drive from my home and one of my favourites because for most of the time it's deserted, and that's the way I like my beaches.

The Grant's gazelle (Nanger granti) is found in East Africa and lives in open grass plains and is frequently found in shrublands; it avoids areas with high grass where the visibility of predators is compromised. They also occur in semiarid areas and are relatively well adapted to dry areas, relying on more browse or leafy material during dry seasons to supplement their intake of water. They are migratory animals, but travel in the opposite direction of most of the other ungulates, such as Thomson's gazelles, zebras, and wildebeest, which are more water dependent. They can subsist on vegetation in waterless, semiarid areas, where they face little competition. Its Swahili name is swala grant.

...the tiger was granted 3 wishes; some food, some sun, and ... ...obviously, there was some misunderstanding.

The Grant's Gazelle (Nanger granti, syn. Gazella granti) is a species of gazelle distributed in East Africa.

Grant’s gazelles live in standard territorial, male-led herds. In more closed habitats, the herds tend to be smaller and more sexually segregated. Male gazelles have developed several ritualized postures to determine dominance. Younger males will fight, but as they grow older, the ritualized displays often take the place of fights. If neither combatant is intimidated, then they may confront one another and clash horns trying to throw the other off-balance.

Tomotley Plantation dates back to an original King's Grant in 1698. The plantation is best known for its iconic avenues of live oaks, planted circa 1820 by Patience Wise Blackett Izard, creating a beautiful, moss-draped passageway into the plantation. The original plantation house was burned by Union troops during General William T. Sherman's march in 1865. After the Civil War, like many Southern plantations, Tomotley was purchased by Northern investors for use as hunting retreats and has seen various owners since. It encompasses 1,010 acres, providing world-class hunting and fishing opportunities, with a focus on waterfowl due to its location in the ACE Basin, known for its ecological and historical significance.

While visiting old Eagle Point Cemetery,I struck up a conversation with an older gentleman that was also there.He told me that rumor was that the Grant's buried here were relatives of president and war hero US Grant.Sadly,a quick search yielded me no such information however.A list of all those interred there...
