What is the maximal age a Rhim gazelle reaches?
An adult Rhim gazelle (Gazella leptoceros) usually gets as old as 14 years.
Rhim gazelles are around 167 days in the womb of their mother. When born, they weight 4.62 kg (10.19 lbs) and measure 49.9 cm (1′ 8″). As a member of the Bovidae family (genus: Gazella), their offspring is 1 babies per pregnancy. Fully grown, they reach a bodylength of 1.03 meter (3′ 5″).
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 rhim gazelle or rhim (Gazella leptoceros), also known as the slender-horned gazelle, sand gazelle or Loder’s gazelle, is a pale-coated gazelle with long slender horns and well adapted to desert life. It is considered an endangered species because fewer than 2500 are left in the wild. These gazelles are found in Algeria, Chad, Egypt, Libya and Sudan.
