Gazella subgutturosa
Gazella subgutturosa, commonly known as the goitered gazelle, is a species of gazelle found primarily in the arid regions of Central Asia, including parts of Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and Iran. This medium-sized antelope is characterized by its slender body, long legs, and distinctive throat pouch, which is more pronounced in males.
The goitered gazelle typically inhabits grasslands and semi-desert areas, where it feeds on grasses and shrubs. It is known for its agility and speed, allowing it to escape predators such as wolves and leopards. Conservation efforts are in place to protect its habitat and ensure the survival of this species.
