Gazella subgutturosa

Gazella subgutturosa, commonly known as the goitered gazelle, is a desert-dwelling antelope native to regions from the Middle East to Central Asia. Recognized for its slender build and graceful movements, it has a light tan coat that helps it blend into arid landscapes. Adapted to survive in harsh environments, it can go long periods without water by deriving moisture from its food. The species is social, often forming small herds, and is known for its agility and speed, which help it escape predators. Despite its resilience, it faces threats from habitat loss and hunting, leading to conservation efforts to protect it.
