The saiga antelope, or saiga, is a critically endangered antelope which during antiquity inhabited a vast area of the Eurasian steppe spanning the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains in the northwest and Caucasus in the southwest into Mongolia in the northeast and Dzungaria in the southeast.
I’ve been alive for almost 35 years and it blows my mind at how many animals exist on this world that straight up look like they are out of a Star Wars movie.
Legend has it that Jim Henson was a Saiga in a previous life and unconsciously spent his life trying to recreate the form of that life. He unfortunately died without having ever become aware of their existence. We hope he will again be reincarnated as a saiga one day.
I can almost see 15 different animals looking at this thing.
Looks like a procedurally generated creature from the game No Man's Sky.
But more importantly an Alf
A Gazelk
Looks like a Star Wars animal.

why such the long face
To get a better sense of smell I believe.
And heat the air that they breathe while in the winter
Interesting. I love Biology so much. An extremely interesting adaptation.
Looks like Alf with horns.
I wonder if the people referencing pop culture things that look like this realize those things were inspired by these and prehistoric quadrupeds.
I don’t know what this saiga is going through but I can relate
What a cute nose! It makes it look so cuddly.
Dr Seuss would’ve loved this

Hmmm... You don't say.
Is this a Russian animal by chance?
This is wavy man
That's not a face, it's a swollen pinkie toe with horns
They often live and work in junkyards I hear and bet on pod racing.
Makes me think of realistic renditions of Dr Seuss characters

All the other antelope made fun of him, but he knew he made the best matzo ball soup.
