SCHLEICH WILD LIFE - THOMSON GAZELLE

Is that a rustling in the bushes? The pretty Thompson Gazelle carefully observes it's surroundings. There might be a cheetah hiding somewhere. The gazelle isn’t interested in ending up as that cat’s breakfast! Unfortunately, it's long twisted horns are of little use against the cheetah. The best mode of action is to run away, dodging left and right like a pro. Or to stay put, where the grass is low and has a good overview. Actually, the living room carpet is a pretty safe bet too!

You can recognise the Thompson Gazelle by it's distinctive coat coluor with black and white stripes on it's belly and face. Most striking, however, are it's magnificently curved horns.
