Speke's Gazelle (Gazella spekei) is the smallest species of gazelles. Partially sympatric with Gazella gazella pelzini, it is confined to the horn of Africa where it inhabits stony brush, grass steppes, and semi deserts (Kingdom 1982, 1997). This species has been sometimes regarded as a subspecies of Gazella gazella though this is now widely disregarded (Groves 1969). Severe habitat fragmentation means it is now impossible to assess the natural migratory or nomadic patterns of Gazella spekei. (East 1996). It's numbers are under threat and despite an increase in population it was announced by the IUCN in 2007 that its status had risen from vulnerable to endangered.
