Why I love the Animal Gazelle

Let’s talk gazelle

 Gazelle are mammal species that is a member of the antelope family found mostly in desert, grasslands, and savanna of Africa where they, move in a group, they can also be found in the southwest and central Asia and India.

They are said to live up to 10-12 years as wide and more than 12 years in captivity but Thomson’ gazelle which is the most popular gazelle are said to live up to 15-19 years. Thompson’s gazelle can reach a speed of 70 KM/H {mph} and can outrun cheetahs by slotting

Life and behavior

Gazelles typically frequent wide-open spaces and plains, where they browse on grasses, shoots, and leaves.

 

Survival

Gazelle are herbivores that feed on grasses, leaves and shoot for survival

Reproduction

 

It takes about six months for a female gazelle to give birth to one or two fawns, she hides fawns in plain grasses where they are nurtured until they are strong and old enough to join the mother’s herd.

Characteristics of gazelle

 

They are beautiful animals:

Gazelle are beautiful animals that draw attention from anybody that comes across them; they have a tan-colored body, white underpants dark side stripes and a facial marking guess that’s why it used for a game.

They are social animals:

Gazelles live in herds from a few to 700 animals, they understand the basic rule of life, which is to relate to other members for survival, to survive, we need people around us for meaningful living.
Often I wonder why people want to protect and feed their insecurity by pretending that they don’t need others in their life to succeed, out of fear of stepping on people’s feet, that’s a major lie.

We live a life that is disruptive, irritating, therapeutic and learning from our experience or people’s stories, but it doesn’t mean that we can live in isolation. Whoever you don’t need now, you’re going to need tomorrow. all we need to do is get acquainted with our limits in our relationship with others

Gazelles are mainly diurnal animals:

they seek shades and avoid movement in the hottest weather by feeding at night and early morning when plants have the moistest content. If anything else fails, they will cool down with a rapid nasal panting.  They choose to move in the night and early morning also to avoid predators who are always after them.

I tell you what, the reason you are envious of your friend who is more successful than you are is that you have failed to discover what works best for you! Yes, most people till now are chasing others’ shadow for a future they will never grasp.

You have to understand that not every success story of an individual is worth coping with, not necessarily because they are bad but because it may not work in your imagination, personality, passion, environment, and so on. I hope after reading this you can sit back and re-examine yourself

They are long-distance runners

Thomson’s gazelles, being long-distance runners, can escape cheetahs by sheer endurance.

Their speed is partially due to their stotting, or bounding leaps. life doesn’t give you what you wish but what you worked for.

Gazelle may not be the swiftest animal, but they understand that it doesn’t matter who is ahead of them, what matters is how long you remain there.

Most people might be ahead of you today but if they don’t have long-term goals they will virtually stop when they exhaust their short-term goal. All you need is persistence

They can stand on two legs

I get thrilled each time I watch gazelles stretching to plug a leave above there reach, they don’t mind standing on two legs for a while just to get their food, you cant achieve a mind-blowing success in your comfort zone, you need to stretch your self, do something else if your routine efforts aren’t yielding something worthwhile.

You are not nailed to a particular thing, try other things, sacrifice your time, money, for you to see results

They are technical animal

They have this stotting skill they employ for survival, Stotting is the action of the quadrupeds, especially the gazelles, in which they leap into the air and raise all four feet out of the ground at the same time.

Normally, the legs are held in a fairly rigid position Several theories of stotting have been suggested; there is evidence that, at least in some cases, it is an honest warning to predators that it will be difficult to capture the stotting animal.

 

They survived their predators using this sill and also alert other herds of danger, In the course of your journey on this planet, always try to reach out to people no matter how life treats you.
Most of the time, we look down on animals as a result of our opinion about them, but some of them have amazing features that will astound you, and the gazelle is one of those lovely animals.
