Question 1: Which species of gazelle is featured in today’s image?
- Thomson’s gazelle
- Dama gazelle
- Soemmerring’s gazelle
Answer: Thomson’s gazelle
Fact: Thomson’s gazelles, commonly known as ‘tommies,’ are small antelopes native to the grasslands of Kenya and northern Tanzania. Named after Scottish explorer Joseph Thomson, they have two subspecies: the larger eastern variety with faint markings, and the Serengeti type, which has a whiter face and more prominent features.
Question 2: What is the top speed of a Thomson’s gazelle?
- 20 mph
- 30 mph
- 50 mph
Answer: 50 mph
Fact: Thomson’s gazelles, known as some of Africa’s fastest animals, can run at speeds of up to 50 miles per hour. Their agility and sharp vision allow them to escape predators such as cheetahs and hyenas. Inhabiting open grasslands, these small but highly alert animals are built for speed and survival.
Question 3: Which two animals do gazelles often migrate with in the Maasai Mara?
- Hyenas and cheetahs
- Wildebeests and zebras
- Elephants and lions
Answer: Wildebeests and zebras
Fact: During the dry season, Thomson’s gazelles follow wildebeests and zebras in search of fresh grass and water. Their small size allows them to graze in areas inaccessible to larger animals, while traveling with bigger herds provides added protection through increased vigilance against predators. This strategy is a clever adaptation for survival in the ever-changing landscapes of the Serengeti and Mara.
