Thompson's Gazelle

Thomson’s Gazelles are small but mighty, with a tan coat, white belly, and a bold black side stripe. They’re among the most iconic animals seen on African safaris.  Don’t be fooled by their size—these little guys are lightning-fast, capable of reaching speeds up to 50 mph in short bursts.  Thomson’s Gazelles zigzag when they run, confusing predators. And although they're smaller than most animals on the savanna, they’re often the last ones standing thanks to their agility and awareness.
