About Goitered Gazelle: The Goitered Gazelle (Gazella subgutturosa) is a medium-sized antelope native to arid and semi-arid regions of Central Asia, the Middle East, and parts of North Africa. It is named for the swelling of the male’s throat (goiter-like enlargement) during the breeding season. Adults typically weigh 18–33 kilograms and stand 60–80 centimeters tall at the shoulder. Their coat is light brown to sandy beige, with a white underbelly and a short tail ending in a dark tuft. Both males and females usually have horns, though male horns are longer and more curved. The species is well-adapted to desert life, able to survive long periods without direct water by extracting moisture from plants. Goitered gazelles are swift runners, reaching speeds up to 60 km/h, and rely on endurance to escape predators. // Image Credit: Wolf, Joseph, and Philip Lutley Sclater. 1861. Zoological Sketches.
