Gazelle

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

Obtaining

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

Analysis

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.

An adult female gazelle consumes 0.24 nutrition per day. If her offspring are slaughtered immediately, a female gazelle produces 0.22 nutrition of meat per day, giving a nutrition efficiency of 0.92. If the offspring are allowed to grow to adulthood before they are slaughtered, they will consume an additional 0.33 nutrition per day, but will instead yield 0.87 nutrition per day as they are slaughtered, resulting in a nutrition efficiency of 1.506. When considering a population of equal numbers of male and female gazelles, these nutrition efficiencies fall to 0.46 for baby slaughter and 1.062 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.
