The goitered gazelle, scientifically known as Gazella subgutturosa, is a medium-sized antelope found in the arid regions of Central Asia and parts of Iran. It is characterized by its slender body, long legs, and distinctive goiter, which is a swelling in the throat area, particularly prominent in males. These gazelles are well-adapted to their dry habitats and are known for their speed and agility. Goitered gazelles primarily feed on grasses and shrubs, using their keen eyesight to detect predators. They are social animals, often seen in small herds, and are known for their migratory behavior, moving to find food and water. Conservation efforts are in place to protect their populations from habitat loss and hunting.
