The saiga antelope is a species of critically endangered bovid that has a large nose. They differ from male to female; the males are larger and have spiral horns. They are endangered because of climate change, disease and overhunting. They are hunted for their horns. These antelopes have thrived since the pliestocene and walked with woolly mammoths. Their large noses are used for heating frigid air and clearing their breaths of dust.

They migrate all over the Steppes to find mates and grass. Saiga males tend to have a large harem that they fight for. Climate change has heated the Steppes and has killed many saigas. New unseen diseases have also wiped out many antelopes.
