Actually thats probably wrong as well some where on here there is a thread that goes into the history of these animals,the only thing that can be said for certain about them is that the founders came from Yemen!

As Kifaru Bwana posted G.arabica is not a valid name. The specimen in the photo bears a strong resemblance to Gazella cora (Arabian Mountian Gazelle) as illustrated in Handbook of the Mammals of the World Volume II. However it resembles a few other species also. Cora is the name Chester finally settled on having described them as Gazella arabica, Gazella gazella arabica, Gazella gazella muscatensis and Gazella gazella cora.
I think your record has stuck we get the message that you think that everyone else is wrong,like I said in a previous post I will check with a person that knows for 100% certain what they are!!!!
Zootierliste is user-edited so I'd be wary of using it as a source for something this complicated - it's generally very accurate (and I think it is here) but mistakes do occur.
It's also mostly put together by ZooChat users so there's some circular referencing going on here!
Has anyone thought about the possibility that these gazelles may be Neumanns gazelles (Gazella erlangeri) or more likely at least have some Nuemanns gazelle (Gazella erlangeri) blood in them ?
Gazella erlangeri was at one time thought to be a subspecies of the Mountain gazelle (Gazella gazella). As mentioned above, the blackpool animals have been called Mountain gazelles, plus the founders of the these animals came from Yemen and Nuemanns gazelles (Gazella erlangeri) are native to Yemen, so I thought I might throw that idea out there.
You think as you are very smart.
And you know at all how many indigenous taxa gazelle in Yemen?
Gazella erlangeri - matter of fact it is not the only one that has in Yemen original habitat.
Gazella bilkis and Gazella cora there are also species native to Yemen.
And please you really should read this really a PDF file, and then evaluate it.
I know it is very lengthy; but just due to the fact that you will find answers to questions; you have daubed the picture of gazelles. And if ever you stand, the real truth about it.
Keep in mind, however, that the former species Gazella arabica is only a chimera.
