The huge fields and savannas are constantly teaming with grazers, many of which are antelopes and gazelles. They all belong to the bovine family with the larger ones being antelope and the smaller ones being gazelles in a distinction I don't fully understand. This Grants Gazelle is a reasonably large one slightly bigger than a white-tailed deer and easily distinguished not only by its size but also the shape and heft of its horns.
Similar in design but smaller, striped on the sides and with different horns this Thompson's Gazelle was a common sight mixed in with Grant's or on their own. Their tails are constantly going like little windshield wipers making them easy to identify and pleasing to see.
We didn't see many of them, but the Eland below are the largest antelope in the world and weigh in at more than a ton. Despite that size they can really move quickly when they need to.
