Grant's Gazelle, unusual behavior

by craftymonster

I'm just curious, what is she is doing? My only guess is that she just calved.

Not male. In Grants, females have quite significant horns,but never as thick as a male's horns.

As craftymonster suggested, she's probably just birthed a baby (out of frame) and is cleaning up remnants of placenta.
