European gazelle (SciiFii)

The European gazelle (Gazella borbonica), also known as the Bourbon gazelle, is a species of gazelle that is native throughout the grasslands, shrublands, and open woodlands of Europe. It was once extinct since the Pleistocene, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced back to Europe to help boost biodiversity. It has rather long, moderately divergent and slightly recurved horns and is about the same size as the similar-looking Dorcas gazelle, with a shoulder height of about 60 cm. The mating season is in the late autumn or winter; at this time, the males' throats swell in a goiter-like effect. Competition is vigorous, but fights rarely break out. The gestation period lasts for about 5-6 months. Births occur is June and July, when groups of dozens of females separate from the herd to give birth, rejoining the herd afterward. They usually give birth to a single young and occasionally twins. They weigh about 3 kg and can keep up with their mother after a few days. They will be able to mate after 17-18 months. The conservation status of the European gazelle is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the European gazelle's wide natural range and its tolerance to most of human activities.
