The Persian gazelle, also known as the goitered gazelle, is a medium-sized antelope native to the arid regions of Iran and surrounding areas. It has a slender body, long legs, and a distinctive light brown coat with white underparts. Males are characterized by their long, curved horns, while females lack horns. These gazelles are well-adapted to their desert habitat, primarily feeding on grasses and shrubs. They are social animals, often found in small herds, and are known for their agility and speed, which help them evade predators in their harsh environment.
