THE INTERESTING

METHOD OF GAZELLES

Some creatures use the
method of leaving scents
to border their territories.
For example, the gazelle
uses long thin twigs and
plants, as well as a
substance, which smells
like tar, secreted by glands
directly under its eyes to

mark its territory. This
scent lets other gazelles
know that this territory
already has an owner. Reindeer, on the other
hand, have scent glands on the tips of their rear
feet. The substance secreted by these glands
makes it possible for them to mark their

territories. Rabbits mark their territory with a
substance secreted by glands on their chins.
