Fig. 15 in Forbidden islands. The absence of endemics among the insular non-volant terrestrial mammalian fauna of the Red Sea

Fig. 15 - Soemmerring's gazelles, Nanger soemmerringii (Cretzschmar, 1828), have practically no predator on the island of Dahlak Kebir. However, because ospreys, Pandion haliaetus (L., 1758), sometimes use their bones as building material for their nests, some authors have hypothesised that these birds, which are notoriously piscivorous, can occasionally prey upon the gazelles (see Roghi & Baschieri, 1954) (photo by Giuseppe De Marchi).
