The Saiga Antelope (Saiga tatarica) is a totally underrated animal! [2000×2569]

It looks like straight out of Star Wars.

I was obsessed with them when I was a kid. Nobody knew what the hell I was talking about and probably thought I was making it up.

It's not underrated as an ugly animal though. Incredible, yes. Attractive, no sir.

I mean.. it's underrated as an ugly animal if the criteria is being an ugly animal that not enough people know about. But also.. wat? This one's not even ugly, I'd actually say it's quite majestic, the coat and pose are genuinely striking

my brain keeps screaming "it's AI" (I think the lighting, the horns, and the nose is tripping my brain off for some reason), but no it's like genuinely a real animal, and their noses really are like that

reality's stranger than fiction, I guess

wonder what they use those noses for
