二名法 Nanger dama(Pallas, 1766) 蒼羚（學名：Nanger dama）[2]，是羚羊亞科下的一種。早前是瞪羚屬（Gazella）的一種，但目前已改置於Nanger屬內。生活於非洲撒哈拉沙漠內，於旱季時會遷往南方找尋食物，雨季時則回到北方境內。偷獵及棲地的破壞使牠們的數目大幅減少，牧群數目也變得狹小。 目录 1 描述 2 參考資料 3 外部連結 4 圖庫 描述 主要為淡褐色，但頭部、臂部而至腹部並延伸至四肢均為白色，頸上有一白點。蒼羚有一亞種——Nanger dama mhorr，已經在野外滅絕。過去一個世紀，蒼羚的數目急劇減少了80%，因此在IUCN紅色名錄內列為極危物種，相信總種群數目少於2000頭。由於其所在的國家相當貧窮，對動物的保育不足，即使在國家公園內的個體也因監管不足而備受偷獵的威脅。目前在非洲及美國的動物園內有圈養。 參考資料 ^ Gazella dama.

Encyclopedic overview
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 the Sahel. A critically endangered species, it has disappeared from most of its former range due to overhunting and habitat loss, and natural populations only remain in Chad, Mali, and Niger. Its habitat includes grassland, shrubland, semi-deserts, open savanna and mountain plateaus. Its diet includes shrubs, herbs, grasses, leaves (especially Acacia leaves), shoots, and fruit.
In Niger, the dama gazelle has become a national symbol. Under the Hausa name meyna or ménas, the dama gazelle appears on the badge of the Niger national football team, who are popularly called the Ménas.
