Rhim Gazelle / Gazella leptoceros

The Rhim Gazelle (Gazella leptoceros), also known as the slender-horned gazelle, is a graceful and endangered species native to the arid deserts of North Africa. Adapted to extreme environments, it has pale sand-colored fur that reflects sunlight and helps it blend seamlessly into its surroundings. Its long, slender horns curve gently backward, and its large eyes are well-suited for low-light conditions. The Rhim Gazelle is highly adapted to desert life, obtaining most of its water from the moisture in the plants it consumes and being able to survive without direct water sources for extended periods. Unfortunately, habitat loss and poaching have significantly reduced its population, making conservation efforts critical for its survival. This elegant gazelle is a symbol of resilience in one of the harshest habitats on Earth.
