The Dainty Tommie!

            The Thomson's gazelle (Eudorcas thomsonii) is one of the best-known gazelles. It is named after explorer Joseph Thomson and is sometimes referred to as a "tommie". Thomson's gazelles can be found in numbers exceeding 550,000 in Africa and are recognized as the most common type of gazelle in East Africa. The Thomson's Gazelle can reach speeds of 50–55 miles an hour and is the 5th fastest land animal.

This lovely Thompson's Gazelle was photographed busy feeding in Lake Nakuru National Park, Kenya.
