They generally live on open plains and open woodlands in herds of 5 to 50 animals with one dominant male. They are very fast. Speeds of more than 80 km/h (50 mph) have been recorded.
They require water every day and may move long distances in search of water and forage in summer. Usually, they feed during the day.
I was trying to photograph these mammals from a very long time and got a chance to do it in Jul 2014 :)

The main threats to the species are poaching, predication, habitat destruction, overgrazing, diseases, inbreeding and sanctuary visitors.
