The dorcas gazelle (''Gazella dorcas''), also known as the ariel gazelle, is a small and common gazelle. The dorcas gazelle stands about 55–65 cm (1.8-2.1 ft) at the shoulder, with a head and body length of 90–110 cm (3-3.6 ft) and a weight of 15–20 kg (33-44 lb). The numerous subspecies survive on vegetation in grassland, steppe, wadis, mountain desert and in semidesert climates of Africa and Arabia. About 35,000 - 40,000 exist in the wild. The extinct Saudi gazelle from the Arabian Peninsula has been previously considered as a subspecies of the dorcas gazelle. ==Subspecies== *''Gazella dorcas beccarii'' - Eritrean dorcas gazelle *''G. d. dorcas'' - Egyptian dorcas gazelle *''G. d. isabella = /littoralis/'' - Isabella's gazelle〔(Antelopes: North Africa, the Middle East, and Asia )〕 *''G. d. massaesyla'' - Moroccan dorcas gazelle *''G. d. osiris = /neglecta/'' - Saharan dorcas gazelle *''G. d. pelzelni'' - Pelzeln's gazelle File:The book of antelopes (1894) Gazella dorcas.png|Illustration of ''G. d. dorcas''.
