saiga definition and meaning

What is a "saiga"?

The saiga is a unique antelope species characterized by its distinctive appearance. It has a large, bulbous nose that curves downward, giving it a distinctive and somewhat comical look. The saiga's nose is thought to help filter out dust and regulate the air it breathes in the arid and dusty regions it inhabits. It also has large, curved horns that are typically found in both males and females. The saiga's coat is usually sandy or light brown in color, with a shaggy appearance. These antelopes are known for their incredible speed and agility, allowing them to navigate the often challenging terrain of their native grasslands in Eurasia. However, the saiga faces conservation challenges, with declining populations due to habitat loss and poaching, making it a species of conservation concern.
