 | | The largest gazelle is the dama, or red-necked, gazelle, Gazella damaruficollis, of northern Africa, which stands slightly less than 1 m (3 ft) tall at the shoulder. |
 | | Gazelles have brown or fawn-colored coats, usually with fl and white markings around the face and neck, white undersides and rump, and often a horizontal band of dark color along the flanks. |
 | | The name gazelle is derived from an Arabic word meaning "affectionate," and "gazelle-like" has become a synonym for grace and beauty. |
