The Persian subspecies, the Goiter Gazelle, lives in the Zoo. Only the males have horns. During mating season, the bucks are also recognised by their enlarged swollen throat. It helps them attract females and is an eponymous feature.
In imminent danger, gazelles escape in large leaps. Often, they can even outrun other gazelles. The animals can reach speeds of up to 100 km/h while on the run.
