gazelle definition and meaning

What is a "gazelle"?

Gazelles are known for their sleek and elegant bodies, with slender legs and a light build. They often have a tan or light-colored coat with white underparts, and their large, dark eyes give them a distinctive appearance. Gazelles are known for their speed and agility, often seen bounding gracefully across the savannas or deserts in pursuit of food or to escape from predators. They are social animals, often forming herds, and are well-adapted to their natural habitats, with keen senses and impressive speed making them successful grazers and sprinters in the wild.
