This illustration depicts a saiga antelope (Saiga tatarica), a critically endangered ungulate native to the steppes of Central Asia. Notable features include its highly flexible, trunk-like nose adapted for filtering dust and warming cold air, and its long, translucent, ringed horns that spiral backward. The animal’s pale beige coat with brown facial markings and sturdy legs reflects its adaptation to open grassland environments.
