www.saranvaid.com The Grant's Gazelle (Gazella granti) is a species of gazelle. Their populations are distributed from northern Tanzania to southern Sudan and Ethiopia, and from the Kenyan coast to Lake Victoria. Grant's gazelle is found in East Africa and lives in open grass plains and frequently found in bushy savannas; it avoids areas that has high grass. They also occur in semi-arid areas as well, and is relatively arid-adapted. The Grant's gazelle are herbivorous ungulates; they are primarily browsers than grazers. Grant's gazelle is a gregarious, territorial, and migratory species. The most common predators of the Grant's gazelle are cheetahs and African Wild Dog. Humans also tend to hunt gazelles. In the Serengeti, Grant's gazelle is a prey item but Thomson's gazelle is preferred by cheetahs. However, in Nairobi National Park Grant's gazelle is preferred over Thomson's gazelle making it an important resource to the cheetah.
