Contains a picture, and information about this animals physical characteristics, habitat, and behavior. One of the most common gazelles in East Africa, the graceful tommie is distinguished from the similarly colored Grants gazelle by the dark stripe that runs from the shoulder to the flank and the white patch on the rump, as well as its smaller size. Male tommies are larger than females and have strongly ridged horns that curve backwards, with the tips curving forward. Female tommies have short, smooth, pencilslim horns, or none at all. The face is accented by a black stripe running down from the eye, a dark marking on the nose and a light patch on the forehead.
