The Rhim Gazelle (Gazella leptoceros) is a slender-horned gazelle, most adapted to desert life.
Habitat
The Rhim Gazelle is found in isolated pockets across the central Sahara Desert (Kingdom 1997, Spinage 1986). The extreme heat of this environment limits their feeding to the early morning and evening and G. leptoceros gains most of its water requirements from dew and plant moisture, relying little on open water sources.

It is a nomadic species moving across its desert range in search of vegetation, though it does not have a set migratory pattern (East 1997, Kingdom 1997).
An alternative name is the slender horned Gazelle
