Gazella saudiya (Saudi gazelle; Saudi Arabian gazelle)

Synonyms: Gazella dorcas saudiya

Wikipedia Abstract

The Saudi gazelle (Gazella saudiya) is an extinct species of gazelle once found in the Arabian peninsula. It is extinct due to hunting by humans in its native lands. It was declared to be extinct in 2008, but it is likely to have disappeared before then. The Saudi gazelle once lived in gravel and sandy plains with acacias of the northern and western Arabian peninsula from Kuwait to Yemen, with most of the records coming from western Saudi Arabia. It was found singly or in groups up to 20.
