Saiga Antelope

Name: Saiga Antelope

Scientific Name: Saiga Tatarica

More Information:

What an Odd-looking antelope!

With its nose that looks like a vacuum cleaner, the saiga antelope weighs around 26-69kg .


It eats species of grass , herbs and spices. Their lifespan in the wild is 10-12 years.
They can be found around Russia or Mongolia.

UNFORTUNATELY

The Saiga Antelope is Critically Endangered ! The reason is because poachers and illegal hunters kill them for their horns which can be used to make medicine.

We must find a way to save our animals. Before it's too late :(
