A
gazelle is any of many
antelope species in the
genus Gazella or formerly considered to belong to it. Six species are included in two
genera,
Eudorcas and
Nanger, which were formerly considered
subgenera. The
genus Procapra has also been considered a
subgenus of
Gazella, and its members are also referred to as gazelles, though they are not dealt with in this article.
