Abstract
Perennial plants eaten by mountain gazelle (Gazella gazella) and Nubian ibex (Capra ibex nubiana) were examined during the 1994 growing season (May and June) in the Ibex Reserve, Saudi Arabia. Individual plants were assigned a browse rating based on extent of vegetative tissue removal. Gazelles and ibex were found to have a diverse diet, but were primarily browsers of woody plants.
