The rhim gazelle, Gazella leptoceros, also known as the slender-horned gazelle, African sand gazelle or Loder's gazelle, is a pale-coated gazelle with long slender horns that is well adapted to desert life. It is considered an endangered species because fewer than 2,500 are left in the wild. It is found in Algeria, Egypt, Tunisia and Libya, and possibly Chad, Mali, Niger and Sudan. The threats the animals face now include poaching, disturbance by humans and loss of suitable habitat.
