Growing old gracefully...


How many gazelles die of natural causes?

Has there ever, in the history of the wild plains of Africa, been a gangly old leaper who met its ultimate demise through old age (which apparently is something like oxidization poisoning enough cells that the whole system just gives up)?

Probably how they get their reputation as being graceful - they never get all geriatric and farty and crooked and slow.

They just get eat'n.

...and further to the point, has there ever been a cool-customer gazelle? A nonchalant gazelle? An aloof, indifferent and unflappable gazelle?
