Gazelle Game
Gazelles, which also live in Asia, are mostly found living in herds ranging from just ten in size to many hundreds in the deserts, grasslands, and savannahs of Africa.
It is estimated their population in Africa is some 180,000. They live for 10 to 12 years feeding on grass, leaves and shoots and are preyed on by lions,
cheetahs, leopards, baboons, python snakes, wild dogs, hyenas and even crocodiles and humans. As such, they have developed an ability to run at incredible speeds, some 60mph in short bursts, but a consistent 30mph over greater distances to avoid capture.
In
this gazelle game you are being hunted by a cheetah, an animal
that can outrun you over short distances as cheetahs can
faster than any other land mammal at 70-70mph.
