This month Becky’s Squares are focusing on odd things – you can interpret this any way you want so I am going to take you all to the zoo this month. San Diego Zoo to be precise and the photos featured will be either odd looking animals, animals with odd names, odd facts or slightly odd photos. I hope you’ll enjoy my selection.
The dama gazelle (Nanger dama) also known as the “addra gazelle” or “mhorr gazelle”, is a species of gazelle. It lives in Africa, in the Sahara desert and Sahel region. The critically endangered dama gazelle is also one of the rarest. Fewer than 400 individuals remain in the wild, mainly in Chad and Sudan. Addra are considered the largest type of gazelle, with incredibly long legs and both males and females have horns. They curve back and up, but reach a length of only about 17 inches with males having 18 to 23 distinct rings and smooth tips.
If you want to join in either daily, weekly or just on the odd occasion then please visit Becky, the only rule is that the main photo MUST be a square – that is four equal sides! You have been warned 😉
TRAVEL WORDS 
She’s lovely. I’m assuming it’s a she, as that would be the odd bit.
Hard to count the rings!
She? looks very concerned about the situation. But I really love this Header.
It’s a quirky header and the photo which made me decide to use the zoo animals as my theme.
Nice choice 🤣💕
Gorgeous animal, but that’s so sad so few left in the wild
Yes, it’s quite worrying how many of our animals are endangered or even extinct.
What a beautiful animal, Jude
A pretty face this one but then most antelopes and gazelles seem to have one.
OK!
As has been said by others, so beautiful.
Gazelles have such a regal look about them. Hope they remain safe and survive.
When I went to Kenya, I ate smoked Impala as a starter in a restaurant. It was very nice. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete. x
😲
Hopefully there are more Impala than this particular species.
It was in Nairobi, so I suspect it was culled in the nearby National Park. I saw countless impalas back then. 🙂
She’s very pretty
horns as fierce as the look in his eyes. Great shot 🙂
I’m going to learn a lot from you this month. And 25 cents for a foot massage! Great value. 🙂
I only wish that I’d tried it.
When I was in Tokyo with my sister a few years ago we came across a whole floor in a department store full of massage chairs for sale. They were all plugged in so we spent quite some time trying them all out. Free back massages!
Lovely! My old hairdresser had massage chairs and it was such a treat to go and have my hair cut.
I must suggest that to my hairdresser!
