Let me introduce you to a beautiful and graceful animal. It is called a gazelle. Gazelles live in Africa and Asia. They love open plains and grasslands. They are plant-eaters that eat grass, leaves, and shoots.

A gazelle is a thin, elegant animal – like a deer, but smaller and lighter. It has a short, smooth coat that is usually brown or tan on top, with a white belly. Its body is small and slim, making it easy to run very fast.

On its head, it has horns – both males and females have them! The horns are long, curved, and ringed, like spirals. They look like elegant crowns. It has large, dark eyes that are set wide apart. Its ears are long and pointed, always listening for danger. Its legs are long and slender, with tiny hooves. These legs are made for speed!

Right now, this gazelle is standing still. It is looking ahead with its big, dark eyes. Its body is tense, and its ears are perked up. It looks alert and watchful – like it is checking for danger.

Maybe it heard a strange sound. Maybe it smells a lion or a cheetah nearby. Gazelles are always careful because they have many enemies in the wild.

Gazelles are very fast runners! They can run up to 50 miles per hour . That is faster than a car in the city! They can also jump high and change direction quickly to escape predators. Today, let’s follow the instructions below to learn how to draw a realistic gazelle.
