Saiga - World of Animals 4K
WORLD’S WEIRDEST ANTELOPE
The saiga antelope is superbly adapted to the harsh conditions of the semi-desert grasslands of Central Asia, which are among the last remaining wilderness areas in Eurasia. These unusual antelopes have a distinctive large, bulbous nose and live in what used to be vast nomadic herds, but sadly their numbers are plummeting and they are now critically endangered.
SAIGA ANTELOPE FACTS
The saiga’s nose has an unusual structure that is thought to filter out dust in the dry summers
The saiga can migrate over distances of up to 1,000 kilometres between summer and winter
Saiga herds once numbered in their millions, but the global population has declined rapidly to just thousands
