The population size of the Gazella spekei is relatively small, consisting of five to ten individuals, and occasionally larger groups. The territorial males control the herd and territory through urination, defecation and scent marking produced by the "preorbital glands".

      During the breeding season, Stephens' gazelles mate with females after delivering a single calf around May or June, during a gestation period of five and a half months in December and January.
