Gazelle

The gazelle is a herbivorous animal native to temperate forests, arid shrublands, and deserts.

Obtaining[edit]

Gazelles can be tamed wild, randomly join your colony in an event, or bought pre-tamed from a trading ship.

Summary[edit]

Gazelle are pen animals. Once tamed, pen animals cannot and do not need to be trained any further. But if left outside of a pen or caravan hitching spot, pen animals will eventually roam outside your colony. Making a caravan is not required to tie animals to a caravan hitching spot.

Analysis[edit]

Nutrition[edit]

When slaughtered, a gazelle yields 25 meat and 14 leather as a baby; 49 meat and 21 leather as a juvenile; or 98 meat and 31 leather as an adult. 1 meat is equal to 0.05 nutrition.

An adult gazelle consumes 0.24 nutrition per day, and a female creates up to 0.18 offspring per day.

When offspring are slaughtered as babies, a female gazelle will produce 0.22 nutrition of meat per day, giving an optimal nutrition efficiency of 92%.
If the offspring are allowed to grow to adulthood, they will consume an additional 0.33 nutrition per day, but will instead yield 0.87 nutrition per day as they are slaughtered. The female gazelle would reach an optimal nutrition efficiency of 150.6%.

When considering a population of equal numbers of males and females, these nutrition efficiencies fall to 46% for baby slaughter and 106.2% for adult slaughter.

Gazelles are nearly identical in terms of nutrition efficiency to horses, but require about three times as much work to slaughter and butcher. Gazelles are also inferior to ibexes in every way other than ease-of-taming. Still, they are a reasonable animal to farm if they are all that is available.

Training[edit]

This animal can be trained as follows:

Guard:
Attack:
Rescue:
Haul:

*As of version 1.1.2610, all animals can be tamed. The percentage of likelihood of success depends on factors such as the Animals Wildness Percentage, Pawn Handling Skill, and others. More information can be found on the animals page.
