Saiga - One of the World's Strangest Animals!

The Saiga- It looks like an animal from the Star Wars' cantina!

So here is my first example of a strange-looking, endangered animal. I think all animals have a place in the world but others disagree. I'm interested in your respectful opinion. What do you think of the endangered saiga?

@enlightenedpsych2 What he said is true. I have never seen one in person, but I have seen photos of them on the Internet.

@davidalicea100 Taller than most people. I would say that qualifies.

It's a really cool looking animal. I hate that animals are going extinct and are endangered. Nicely put, us humans are so ruthless, and barbaric. We're either hunting animals that shouldn't be hunted or pushing them out of their habitats just so we could build buildings and roads.

@davidalicea100 Yeah they are which is sad, and it really shouldn't have happened that they were endangered though.

There are even sea creatures we are just barely finding out about. Some of them look scary as hell.

You said he is the world's strangest animal, but you did not say why he is strange. He looks a little strange. Is that the only thing?

So, where does it live, and why is it endangered? It is a little funny-looking, but I'm sure it has its place in the local eco-system.

@enlightenedpsych2 I looked it up and they showed them with horns. Go figure.

I was reading that it's a type of antelope from the Eurasian areas.

This is the first time that ive heard the word or name Saiga. The animal looks familiar or a combination of two different animals -- probably a deer and a goat. is that animal pregnant?

I am not familiar with that animal. I have ever encountered that even in books. Thanks for sharing.

Why don't you add some information about this animal? Where in the world does it live?

@atlantickitfox That is an interesting head on that animal. I hate to see any species off to extinction. It is up to the humans who cause most of the hardship to animals, to try to head off the doom of any species. Where is that animal native to and why is it endangered?

It looks a bit peculiar. Never seen this animal before. Why is this getting extinct?
