I'm pretty sure those are Saiga antelope, they are extinct further west around the Caspian sea because of ranchers. They were killed off in the 60s.
You make a good point there, Scrat.
I wasn't even aware they were still around, Russia has reintroduced Canadian forest bison and American bison in the areas north of Mongolia, the Primorski region and I guess they are doing quite well there. The wolves too.
They have American Bison there? That's one of the many things I didn't know. I think I'll look up what animals are native to Russia and learn something tonight. Thanks again, Scrat- it's good to see you around.
I'm glad the people are trying to help them! They could just as easily let them die out, so good on them for that.
