  CURVIER'S GAZELLE:  The curvier's gazelle lives in the mountains and heavily wooded areas of Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia.  Its long legs and formidable horns provide it with both defense and speed.  But, unfortunately, its long legs can't help it escape habitat loss.  Because of this, there are only an estimated 2,500 mature individuals in the wild.
 
 

    WESTERN GIANT ELAND:  The western giant eland stands 6 feet at the shoulder and can weigh up to 1,500 pounds, making it one of the largest antelopes in Africa.  The total eland population is estimated to be about 2,500 mature adults and is expected to drop by 20% in the next two generations.  The eland has a cattle-like tail and two curved, spiraling horns.
