Hello,
During a stopover in Abu Dhabi recently we found two gazelles in a sandy area northeast of the city. Can’t find out if it is Arabian Gazelle, Gazella arabica, or Arabian Sand Gazelle, Gazella marica. Any help is much appreciated.

I don’t have direct field experience with them, but based on the dark flank stripe and facial markings I would say the former
Hi
Looks like female and juvenile.
Certainly Arabian gazelle (Gazella arabica)
Andrew
I agree with Robert and Andrew. Sand Gazelle has a much paler lateral stripe, and appears much less slender.
Thank you so much!!
It is fantastic! Send in a question and within an hour there are three knowledgeable answers. Really great:)
Definitively juvenile and female Arabian gazelle (Gazella arabica). Take a look at these two plates for comparison:

Very clear! No doubt about it! Now we just have to find Sand Gazelle in the future…
