Cuvier's Gazelle by Ghirin

Cuvier's gazelle (Gazella cuvieri) is native to North Africa and is the only antelope that is currently endemic to the area north of the Sahara Desert. At one time, Cuvier's gazelle was widespread in the Atlas Mountains of North Africa and was also called the Atlas or Edmi gazelle. Currently, its range has been markedly reduced by hunting to scattered populations in the highlands of Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia.

Cuvier's gazelle can be found in highland oak and pine forests, mountain meadows, and even desert plateaus. It will feed on both grass and shrubs, depending on the season. The gazelle prefers to stay in the hills during the day, and will descend into the valleys at dawn and dusk to feed. It needs water from waterholes in addition to dew and plant moisture to survive.
