Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Gazelle shopping experience:
1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Gazelle offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Gazelle at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.
2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about
3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Gazelle? Wrong! If the Gazelle is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.
4. Questions - Got a question about Gazelle then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....
5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Gazelle? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Gazelle and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.
6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Gazelle wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.
7. Feedback - happy with your Gazelle then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.
8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Gazelle site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site
9. Contact - got a question about Gazelle, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.
10. Payment - ready to pay for your Gazelle, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.
{{Taxobox| color = pink| name = Gazelle| image = Thompson's_Gazelle.jpeg| image_caption = Thomson's Gazelleia| phylum = [Chordataia| ordo = [Artiodactyla| subfamilia = [Antilopinae, 1816| subdivision_ranks = [Species of the [genus
Gazella, although the three members of the genus
Procapra also widely are referred to as gazelles. Gazelles are known as swift animals; they are able to reach high speeds for long periods of time. Gazelles are mostly found in the grasslands and savannas of
Africa, but they are also found in southwest
Asia. They tend to live in herds and will eat less coarse, easily digestible plants and leaves.
The gazelle species are classified as part of the order Artiodactyla, family Bovidae and genus
Gazella. Members of the Articodacycla order are principally distinguished by the foot; they have an even number of toes (the bovid family comprises 6 genera and 12 species). The taxonomy of the genus
Gazella is a confused one, and the classification of species and subspecies has been an unsettled issue. Three species—the Red Gazelle, the
Arabian Gazelle, and the
Queen of Sheba's Gazelle—are extinct. All other gazelle species are listed as endangered, to varying degrees.
A recognizable example of the gazelle is
Thomson's Gazelle (
Gazella thomsonii), which is around 60 to 90
centimetre (23 to 35
inches) in height at the shoulder and is coloured brown and white with a distinguishing black stripe (as in the picture on the right). The males have long, often curved, horns. Tommies, as they are familiarly called, exhibit a distinctive behaviour of
stotting (running slowly and jumping high before fleeing) when they are threatened by predators such as
lions or
cheetahs. This is a primary piece of evidence for the
handicap principle advanced by
Amotz Zahavi in the study of animal communication and behaviour.

Species
Extinct
Fossils of genus
Gazella are found in
Pliocene and Pleistocene deposits of Eurasia and Africa. The tiny
Gazella borbonica is one of the earliest European gazelles, characterized by its small size and short legs. Gazelles disappeared from Europe at the start of
Ice Age, but they survived in Africa and Middle East. Three species become extinct in recent times due to human causes
