Prezwalski’s gazelle, known as endangered gazelle, is endemic species of China. It can be found only in circumference of Qinghai Lake on Qinghai-Tibet Platean. This book is a summary of biology and ecology of Prezwalski’s gazelle. Based on the authors’ 10 years research , it introduces gazelle’s living environment, biological diversity, together with human activities of Qinghai Lake. It also reports Prezwalski’s gazelle living condition, phylogeny and taxonomy of world alive antelopes and systematic relationship of Procapra and conservation
The book would be a reference for researcher in Chinese zoology studies or conservation biology, manager of nature protecting areas, as well as graduates and undergraduates of his field
