baghira as my Reply #13 on Aug 6, 2005, 8:16am shows generally all gazelles that inhabit Arabia get called Arabian gazelles simply because they live in that country. Very misleading but true.

Thank's for warning. I will careful in this similar species. A Arabian gazelle (G. arabica) is not an Persian gazelle (G.subgutturosa), but is similarly with mountain gazelle (G. gazella).I don't fully understand with these species, but diverse search of them on this gazelle species. Thank's for correction in my wrong writted text.  |

Taxonomy Kingdom: ANIMALIA Phylum: CHORDATA Class: MAMMALIA Order: ARTIODACTYLA Family: BOVIDAE Common Name/s: ARABIAN GAZELLE (Eng) Species Authority: (Lichtenstein, 1827) Taxonomic Notes:
Red List Category & Criteria: EX ver 3.1 (2001) Year Assessed: 2003 Assessor/s: Mallon, D.P. (Antelope Specialist Group) Evaluator/s: Plowman, A. & Mallon, D.P. (Antelope Red List Authority) Justification: This enigmatic antelope is known only from a single male specimen in the Berlin Museum, apparently collected in 1825 and attributed to the Farasan Islands in the Red Sea. However, there is some doubt as to whether the specimen in fact originated from the Farasans and its former distribution and status may never be known (Mallon and Kingswood 2001). Skull characteristics distinguish the specimen from all other gazelles, and the gazelles that now occur on the Farasan Islands are a subspecies of G. gazella. G. arabica was considered Extinct by the Antelope Specialist Group (East et al. 1996). Classifications Major Habitat/s: 8.1 Desert - Hot Distribution Country Names: Regionally extinct (uncertain origin): Saudi Arabia Summary Documentation System: Terrestrial Detailed Documentation Range: The type specimen is listed as originating on Farasan Islands in the Red Sea of the SW coast of Saudi Arabia, but its origin there has been disputed. MacPhee and Flemming (1999) disagreed with the Extinct categorisation on the grounds of taxonomic uncertainties about the validity of the species. However, given the distinctiveness of the taxon, and the fact that no further information has come to light, Extinct is considered to remain the most appropriate category.
History: 1965 - "Status inadequately known-survey required or data sought" as G. gazella arabica (Scott 1965)
1996 - Extinct (Baillie and Groombridge 1996) www.iucnredlist.org/search/details.php/8981/all |

People sometimes by allow errors.
Is not all gold, what it is shining.
Every human is sometimes allow defaults.
And I'm hate not precision info!
Then don't believe nobody, either Extinction Forum.
I'm thinked that be a friends, but little help is for
almost all members; very difficult and not willing.
Only one think is hear from me: "when
I'm wrote about certain species or subspecies, please asked it".
I have real arabian gazelle photo (Gazella arabica from Berlin Zoo),
from very old book.

Baghira, the gazelles in the photo are not the true extinct Arabian Gazelles, but another species. They have used wrong information on the site. The latest IUCN assessment for Gazella arabica has been in 2003, and it is now considered extinct. There is only one stuffed specimen left. It does not survive in captivity. Sadly enough... If it was true, it would be world news!  The only gazelle that is classified as "extinct in the wild" by the IUCN is Gazella saudiya, the Saudi Gazelle. There is much confusion on the "Arabian Gazelle", because this common name is used for several gazelle species/subspecies. Can it not be the Farasan Gazelle ( Gazella gazella farasani)? But I have no photo's to compare...maybe I can find something a books I have. |

At London zoo they have several types of gazelle including the Arabian mountain gazelles (Gazella. gazella) so as Peter mentioned the photos represent one of this species.
