SAIGA (Saiga tatarica)

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 1009 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SAC-SAR
SAIGA (Saiga tatarica) , the native designation of 'a
desert
 = dwelling
antelope
 , easily'recognized by its extraordinary swollen and puffy
nose
 , in which the apertures of the tubular nostrils are directed downwards. The ringed lyrate horns of the
males
  are amber-coloured, and wide apart on the head. There is a small gland on each side ,of the face below the eye; and the ears are remarkable for their short and rounded' form. The 'colour is whitish in winter and sandy in summer. ' It is the
sole
  representative" of its genus. At the present day the headquarters of this
antelope
  are the
Kirghiz
 
Steppes
 , but a
century
  ago its range extended as far west as Poland. During the latter
part
  of the
Tertiary
  period the saiga was much more widely distributed, fossilized remains having been obtained from' many parts of Western Europe, including Britain.
