[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Grant's gazelle stands 30-36 inches up to the shoulder and weighs 100-145 pounds.[citation needed] It's coat is beigy orange back with a white belly. The Grant's Gazelle looks similar to a Thomson's Gazelle except it has lyre-shaped horns which are stout at the base, clearly ringed and measuring 18 to 32 inches long. The subspecies are segregated by different morphological characters such as; horn shape and slight differences in coat colour. These differences are not indicative of ecological separation as with some species.
