The red-fronted gazelle, Eudorcas rufifrons, is a widely but unevenly distributed gazelle found across the middle of Africa from Senegal to northeastern Ethiopia. It is mainly resident in the Sahel, the narrow band south of the Sahara, where it prefers arid grasslands, wooded savannas and shrubby steppes. It may be closely related to Thomson's gazelle and is considered a vulnerable species. The total population is estimated at about 25,000 individuals and is falling, and in captivity an animal can live up to 14.5 years. Some authorities treat the red gazelle as a subspecies of this animal.
