As far as I know this is what they intend to do eventually. I know some people from the Dallas Zoo recently visited Minnesota to examine the Treetop Trail and see how they could adapt something similar in Dallas. I recently had the chance to visit the Dallas Zoo for the first time since the Monorail’s closure, and the zoo just doesn’t feel the same without it. I really hope the pan for making it into a walking path comes to fruition!If only Dallas Zoo (USA) would re-open the old monorail area as a walking trail, packed with a dozen or more hoofstock species. That would be amazing. Here's a Dama Gazelle at that Texas zoo:
@jbnbsn99
Love the photo of the goitered gazelle at Dallas zoo. The species are very similar and they look like a family!Since the next group of gazelles are found in such low numbers, I'm going to analyze FOUR species in this post.
There used to be almost a dozen zoos in the USA with Cuvier's Gazelles but there's zero now. This species is left in 7 zoos between France and Spain and a couple in Africa and that's all that's on Zootierliste. Gone baby gone.
Goitered Gazelles are found at approximately double the zoos as Cuvier's Gazelles, but that's still not a lot and this species is likely to be entirely absent from North American collections.
There's loads of subspecies for the Dorcas Gazelle, also known as the Ariel Gazelle. I might have seen this species at San Diego Zoo in 2006, but I've definitely seen these guys at two other zoos.
Sand Gazelles are extremely rare and I've got them listed at only two zoos in my lifetime.
I've seen Cuvier's Gazelles at 6 zoos:
1- Greater Vancouver Zoo (Canada) – Cuvier’s Gazelle – 1998
2- San Diego Zoo (USA) – Cuvier’s Gazelle – 2006
3- Mountain View Conservation Centre (Canada) – Cuvier’s Gazelle – 2008
4- Saint Louis Zoo (USA) – Cuvier’s Gazelle – 2010

1- San Diego Zoo Safari Park (USA) – Sand Gazelle – 2006
2- San Antonio Zoo (USA) – Sand Gazelle – 2010
Cuvier's Gazelles are, somewhat surprisingly, the most common of the 4 gazelle species in this post and I've still only seen them at 6 zoos.
@SivatheriumGuy
I count 5 Cuvier's Gazelles (and an inquisitive Bactrian Camel next door) at San Diego Zoo (USA) in my photo from 2011. Horn & Hoof Mesa strikes again!
Lesser Kudu and Cuvier's Gazelles were mixed together at Saint Louis Zoo (USA) in 2010 in this exhibit within the Red Rocks zone.
I saw Cuvier's Gazelles with Northern Ground Hornbills when I visited Living Desert Zoo (USA) in 2011, but by the time I returned to that zoo last year the gazelles were gone. Here's my photo of the exhibit:

Tanganyika Wildlife Park (USA) had perhaps 15 Giraffes and a small herd of Cuvier's Gazelles together when I visited in 2014. Here's my shot of the exhibit and large barn:

As for Sand Gazelles, I have seen the species only twice as well. It's a bit confusing, as there is a similar species called Arabian Gazelle (Gazella arabica), but Sand Gazelle (Gazella marica) is the species that used to be in a half-dozen or more American zoos before the usual phase-outs began.

Rio de Janeiro imported a dorcas gazelle from Antwerp back in 1952, perhaps in order to replace the sitatunga. Its forerunner also held Gazella dorcas, as well as some sort of "Arabian antelope" (Antilope arabica), which I believe was an Arabian gazelle.Since the next group of gazelles are found in such low numbers, I'm going to analyze FOUR species in this post.

While the giant eland have been gone for several years now, there are still two red-fronted gazelles left at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. They are in the African Forest field exhibit along the Africa Tram, which they share with eastern bongo, red lechwe, and common impala.Yesterday I looked at FOUR gazelle species (Cuvier's, Goitered, Dorcas, Sand) and today I'm going to look at THREE more gazelle species. One thing about going through pages and pages of gazelle photos, is that so many of the types of gazelle look remarkably similar. Watching one in a zoo makes it tricky to instantly differentiate which species one is gazing at!
Of all the mammals with the word 'Gazelle' in their name, the most common for me has been the Addra Gazelle, far ahead of any others. In second place is the Thomson's Gazelle, which is a species that has held strong in North American collections, but is extremely scarce in the rest of the world's zoos. Almost every zoo where I've seen this species has been in North America.
Speke's Gazelles are only in around a dozen or so zoos on the planet, with almost all of them being in North America. Every zoo where I've seen Speke's Gazelles has been in the USA. Check out the photos and analysis below to see some rare mixed-species exhibits featuring Speke's Gazelles. White Rhinos, Okapis, etc.
The rarest gazelle for me has been the Red-fronted Gazelle as I've only ever seen that species at a single zoo. It's interesting to note that while some hoofstock was really common for me in Southeast Asia this past summer, that part of the world essentially has almost zero gazelles of any kind. There's plenty of Javan Rusa Deer, Lowland Anoas, Nilgai and other species, but gazelles are in short supply.
Ranking for mammals with the word 'Gazelle' in their name:
Dama Gazelle - 36 zoos
Thomson's Gazelle - 18 zoos
Grant's Gazelle - 11 zoos
Speke's Gazelle - 11 zoos
Slender-horned Gazelle - 8 zoos
Cuvier's Gazelle - 6 zoos

Seeing Thomson's Gazelles at San Diego Zoo Safari Park (USA) has become a rite of passage for many zoo nerds, as that species has been there for decades.
@King of Komodo Dragons
Milwaukee County Zoo (USA) still maintains Thomson's Gazelles to this day.
@pachyderm pro
This exhibit held Thomson's Gazelles and a couple of Giraffes at Baton Rouge Zoo (USA) when I toured the zoo in 2010.
Another Louisiana facility, Audubon Zoo (USA), had Thomson's Gazelles with Common Eland that same summer.
Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium & Safari Park (USA) had two exhibits for Thomson's Gazelles when I was there last year and one of the paddocks was flooded as that Arizona zoo practices an intriguing method of irrigation where some of the enclosures are covered in water. I even saw aviaries and gibbon cages with flooded floors.
Greater Kudu, Giraffes, Plains Zebras and Thomson's Gazelles all shared this space when I was at Artis Royal Zoo (Netherlands) in 2019.
As for Speke's Gazelles, they have shared a space with Lesser Kudu at San Diego Zoo (USA) in the past. The remaining Horn & Hoof Mesa enclosures are quite nice.
@IndianRhino
Oregon Zoo (USA) has had Speke's Gazelles for a long time, either with Giraffes or Bontebok.
Speke's Gazelles have been a common sight at Saint Louis Zoo (USA) in the Red Rocks hoofstock zone for ages.
@Forge
Here's the bare bones yard for Speke's Gazelles that was at San Antonio Zoo (USA) in 2010:
When I toured Reid Park Zoo (USA) for the first time in 2011, this yard held these 4 species: Speke's Gazelle, White Rhino, Kori Bustard and Marabou Stork.
Speke's Gazelles have been at Phoenix Zoo (USA) and the last ZooChat photo of this species in Phoenix was a decade ago.
@Ituri
When I toured Fresno Chaffee Zoo (USA) for the first time in 2011, this yard held these 5 species: Speke's Gazelle, Giraffe, Common Eland, Dromedary (!!) and Ostrich.
Houston Zoo (USA) had Okapi, Speke's Gazelles and Blue Cranes all together and here's a gazelle sneaking under one of the barriers.
Speke's Gazelles are still at Los Angeles Zoo (USA) in a dry, dusty enclosure.
@Coelacanth18
Speke's Gazelles were with Kori Bustards at Living Desert Zoo (USA) as of last year.
As for Red-fronted Gazelles, I've seen this species at only one zoo ever. San Diego Zoo Safari Park (USA) has shifted the species around, as they tend to do, including mixed with Giant Eland. Alas, I think BOTH species are extinct in San Diego.

Blackbuck might not be called a gazelle but it basically is.
At least in Europe, both Thomson's and Spingbok have been majorly phased out at they have little-to-no conservation interest - which is fair enough, but it meant when Whipsnade gained a herd of Thomson's not too long ago they had no way of actually maintaining the population. Another reason the Berlin collections are so important to zoo nerds this side of the pond. Damas is obviously critically endangered, nearing extinct in the wild, so I have no complaints about seeing them.
Since the next group of gazelles are found in such low numbers, I'm going to analyze FOUR species in this post.
There used to be almost a dozen zoos in the USA with Cuvier's Gazelles but there's zero now. This species is left in 7 zoos between France and Spain and a couple in Africa and that's all that's on Zootierliste. Gone baby gone.

So, the 'Sand Gazelles' I saw at San Diego Zoo Safari Park AND San Antonio Zoo should be switched to Slender-horned Gazelles? Interesting. If no one weighs in with any other ideas, then I will do that and put Sand Gazelles back onto my bucket list. Ha!
