Gazella leptoceros, also known as the slender-horned gazelle, is a species of gazelle native to North Africa. It is listed as critically endangered due to habitat loss, hunting, and competition with livestock for food and water. The slender-horned gazelle has a tan coat with a white underbelly, and as its name suggests, it has long, slender horns that can reach up to 30 cm in length. They typically live in small herds and are known for their impressive speed and agility. Efforts are underway to protect and conserve the remaining populations of this endangered species.
