SPECIES Eudorcas thomsonii
| Author: | Günther, 1884. | | Citation: | Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 5, 14: 427. | | Common Name: | Thomson's Gazelle | | Type Locality: | "the range of country from Kilimanjaro to Baringo and at various heights above 6000' [1829 m]"; restricted to "Kilimanjaro district" (Lydekker, 1914b:84) in Kenya (G. M. Allen, 1939:526). | | Distribution: | S and C Kenya, N Tanzania. | | Status: | IUCN – Lower Risk (cd). | | Comments: | Revised by Brooks (1961). Groves (1969a) included thomsonii in Gazella cuvieri; but Gentry (1972:88, 90-91) gave reasons for rejecting this classification. Groves (1985a, 1988) and Rebholz and Harley (1999) included thomsonii in E. rufifrons but Gentry (1964) presented evidence to show they are distinct. |
