I think it may have access to a stall in the giraffe house, so it may occasionally be visible. It may be the three-legged animal they had, unless one of the others outlived it.

sounds a bit cruel to keep it inside all the time, how old is it?

why cant it go to another collection?

It does have an outdoor area, only that it is fenced off, I think. I'm not totally sure of the Cotton's layout...

The gazelle must be getting quite old now, so moving such a flightly animal would cause a lot of stress.

I've attached the aerial shot of the cotton terraces and the blue arrow is pointing to what I remember is the gazelle paddock.
