1·Peters has identified tens of thousands of gazelle bones, which make up more than 60 percent of the total.
皮特斯已经鉴定出了成千上万的瞪羚的骨头，它们占了总数的60%。
2·In the new, lusher savannah, gazelle were plentiful and they tended to stay in one place throughout the year, so the humans settled down with them.
然而在这片崭新而肥沃的稀树大草原上，瞪羚的数量充足，它们往往全年都待在一个地方，因此人类也随之定居下来。
3·That is why the smallest of the herbivores, Thomson's gazelle, lives on fruit that is very nutritious but too thin on the ground to support a larger animal.
那就解释了为什么最小型的食草动物，汤普森瞪羚，能以水果为食；虽然水果非常有营养，但是在地面上太稀少，不足以维持体型更大的动物生存。
4·The larger, less fastidious feeders, the zebras, move in first; the choosier, smaller wildebeests come later; and the smallest species of all, Thomson's gazelle, arrives last.
体型较大、不太挑食的斑马最先进入；比较挑剔、身材苗条的牛羚随后出现；而最小的汤姆逊瞪羚，则落在最后。
5·The later species all depend on the preparations of the earlier one, for the actions of the zebra alter the vegetation to suit the stomachs of the wildebeest, topi, and gazelle.
后来的物种都依赖于早期物种的准备工作，因为斑马的行动改变了植被，以适应角马、黄羊和瞪羚的胃。
