Predation
Predators of Thomson's gazelles include lions, spotted hyenas, wild dogs, cheetahs, leopards, and jackals. During the calving season, the young are easy prey for all of these predators, as well as yellow baboons and pythons. Thomson's gazelles travel in small herds, which helps to protect individuals from predation. They are alert and can run quickly.
Known Predators:
- lions (Panthera leo)
- spotted hyenas (Crocuta crocuta)
- cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus)
- leopards (Panthera pardus)
- African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus)
- black backed jackals (Canis mesomelas)
- golden jackals (Canis aureus)

- pythons (Python)
