Speke?s Gazelle were formerly widespread in the open barren
grasslands of north-central and north-eastern Somalia and the
central coastal region. It occurred widely within its historical
range in the 1980s, although its numbers had been reduced
greatly by hunting, drought and overgrazing of its habitat by
domestic livestock. It was common on the central coastal plain
in the mid-1980s (Thurow, in press). Habitat and Ecology Life
