Gazella subgutturosa marica Thomas, 1897 The Arabian sand gazelle (Gazella marica) or reem (Arabic: ريم)[2] is a species of gazelle native to the West Asia, specifically the Arabian and Syrian Deserts.

Today it survives in the wild in small, isolated populations in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, and southeastern Turkey.

Small numbers may also be present in Kuwait, Iraq, Jordan, and Syria.

The total population of wild sand gazelles is thought to be less than 3,000.

A 2010 genetic study established that it was a distinct lineage,[2] and it is now considered a separate species.
