Move?

[edit]

The article frequently calls this Thomson's Gazelle, lowercase. NickelShoe 03:12, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's the way it should be. Thomson is a proper noun, so it must be written with a capital letter, however, the word gazelle should be written in lower case; it isn't a proper noun - there are many gazelles out there.--71.190.88.161 (talk) 02:00, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Performances

[edit]

The gazelle of thomson is one of smaller gazelles, adults she can run very fast up to 37 to 43 mph (60 to 70 km/h) generally, maximum 47 mph (76 km/h) for the most male fastest, and it makes jumps from 1 meter to 1.50 meters high (3,5 to 4,5 feet) and up to 2 meters (6,5 feet) max at most sometimes and 5 for 6 meters (17 to 20 feet) lenght. I am an expert and a fan of the animals of quite sorts, but in particular the gazelles and the antelopes. --Angel310 (talk) 14:02, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Second fastest animal on earth

[edit]

The above statement in the opening paragraph seems to contradict the information in the article Fastest animals, which specifically states the Tommy is build for endurance over speed. I see it is sourced but found nothing in the source apart from a speed (60 mph) which is different from that stated in the opening paragraph. Which is correct?

Decline

[edit]

Inconsistency. Decline from 1978 to 2005 referenced by 1999 book. Replace the source to IUCN.--Vicpeters (talk) 00:52, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
