saiga

Definitions

Examples

• Hodgson was apparently not well acquainted at the time with saiga, or he would have certainly alluded to the affinity.

• Dr. Murie notices the inflation of the post-maxilla in the saiga, and states that a similar extension is to be found in the chiru.

• The chiru, which belongs to the typical or antilopine section of antelopes, is probably allied to the saiga.

• Gesner has mentioned this animal under the name of colus, and Gmelin under that of saiga.

• The horns of the antelopes are black and opaque; those of the saiga, on the contrary, are whitish and transparent.
