Summary

Description And as with females everywhere, after the pretended disinterest, the female drops subtle hints. In this case she lets out a small stream of urine, which will indicate to the male that she is in heat. (estrus) The male gazelle will follow a female and sniff her urine to find out if she is in estrus, a process known as flehmen. If so, he will continue to court and mount her. So he has just finished mounting here once, (see previous picture) and is now smelling her urine for further signs. Female Thomson's gazelles will leave the herd to give birth to single fawns after a five- to six-month gestation period. They give birth twice yearly. (Al Ain, UAE, Dec. 2012)
