Cuvier's gazelle, Gazella cuvieri, also known as the edmi, is a species of gazelle native to Algeria, Morocco, Western Sahara and Tunisia. It is one of the darkest gazelle species, possibly as an adaptation to its partial woodland habitat. It is sometimes placed into the genus Trachelocele together with the goitered gazelles and the rhim gazelles. In the 1930s it was already considered one of the rarest gazelles. In the past the decline of the species was caused by overhunting for skins, meat and trophies.
