Knobby kneed and squat, this wild dwarf horse is one of the most easily frightened of creatures. Despite its rather peculiar look, the Gamela is in fact quite nimble, and can outrun many of the predators. It stands only 50 cm tall and at most 1 m long. Besides its large knees, the Gamela is almost an exact replica of the horse. Although, they range in color from white to black, the most common color is a bronze-brown. Feeding purely on grass, herds of Gamela have been known to jump over fences of farms and chew the pastureland down to barren earth. For this reason, farmers usually regard them as pests. Gamelas live in large herds, which are organized in an almost egalitarian society; there is no leader, but they simply each do what the others do or what they want to do themselves, which can, depending on the situation, cause either beneficial effects, or a complete mess. For example, if one Gamela finds a patch of green, juicy grass, the others will notice and come too, but, on the other hand, if they are attacked either by people or by predators, the Gamela will run off wildly, and not gain anything by it, as most likely other predators are lurking near by. 
	
	The Gamela has not been domesticated because of its shy nature, and thus it is hard to capture alive.
