  • Abstract
    Arabian Sand Gazelles are typical intermediate feeders (browsing and grazing) becoming concentrate selectors during the wet season (grazing) with a preference for short grasses and forbs throughout their range. At least, 80 plant species from 23 families have been published as being utilised by reem, mainly from five protected areas throughout Saudi Arabia. Knowledge of the diet of reem is important in assisting wildlife managers with practical decision making, especially with regard to reintroduction
