A saiga is an ANTELOPE Saiga tartarica of
East European and West Asian steppes and
deserts. Buff-coloured, whitish in winter, it
stands 75cm (30inches at the shoulder), with
a body about 1½m (5ft long). Its nose is
unusually large and swollen, an adaptation
which may help warm and moisten the air
inhaled, and keep out the desert dust.
