Running gazelles on safari - Ngutuni Wildlife Conservancy - Kenya - Tsavo National Park - Tsavo East
The Grant's gazelle (Nanger granti, Gazella granti earlier) with a shoulder height of 82 cm and a body weight of 80 kg a large gazelle found in East Africa. Their range extends from Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda to the north, Ethiopia and Somalia. It is named after the 18th US President Ulysses S. Grant (1822-1885).
This gazelle is above throughout maroon and white on the ventral side. The white mirror limited externally by a vertical black stripes. On the side of a horizontal band, however, this is not very pronounced in adult animals runs. A white stripe extends from the eye to the nose, the horns are long and curled and are closer together or farther depending on the subspecies. Thus carries N. g. Petersi relatively short, narrow horns which are almost straight, while the tips of the horns are directed downwards at N. g. Robertsi.
The choice of the habitat is in this Gazelle very diverse, ranging from semi-desert scrub of up to open tree savanna, but corridors are avoided with long grasses.
The broad-leaved and grass-eaters live in herds of up to 30 animals, with a mature male head of the females and their offspring.
The Tsavo East National Park is the largest national park in Kenya, East Africa.
On April 1, 1948, the Tsavo National Park was established km² with a total area of 21 812. In May 1949, was carried out for administrative reasons the division in Tsavo East- and Tsavo West National Park. Prior to designation of national parks, the area of both parks owned by the ethnic groups of the Orma, Watta, Maasai and Kamba, who had to abandon their settlements respectively.
With an area of 11,747 square kilometers of the eastern part of about 2,000 km² is greater than the western. The areas north of durable water-bearing Galana River, about two-thirds of the park are not accessible to visitors.
