What is the maximal age a Red-fronted gazelle reaches?
An adult Red-fronted gazelle (Eudorcas rufifrons) usually gets as old as 13.5 years.
Red-fronted gazelles are around 174 days in the womb of their mother. When born, they weight 674 grams (1.49 lbs) and measure 3.6 cm (0′ 2″). As a member of the Bovidae family (genus: Eudorcas), their offspring is 1 babies per pregnancy. Fully grown, they reach a bodylength of 88.5 cm (2′ 11″).
As a reference: Usually, humans get as old as 100 years, with the average being around 75 years. After being carried in the belly of their mother for 280 days (40 weeks), they grow to an average size of 1.65m (5′ 5″) and weight in at 62 kg (137 lbs), which is obviously highly individual.
The red-fronted gazelle (Eudorcas rufifrons) is widely but unevenly distributed gazelle across the middle of Africa from Senegal to northeastern Ethiopia. It is mainly resident in the Sahel zone, a narrow cross-Africa band south of the Sahara, where it prefers arid grasslands, wooded savannas and shrubby steppes.One authority considers Thomson’s gazelle (E. thomsoni), of East Africa, a subspecies of red-fronted gazelle. The red-fronted gazelle was formerly considered a member of the genus Gazella within the subgenus Eudorcas before Eudorcas was elevated to generic status.
