Goose-throated antelope
The goosethroat is a mammal of the genus Mammal, Cetacean Artiodactyl, Bovidae, and Antelope. They have long and thin necks, and males have goiters under their necks, which resemble goose throats. The upper body coat is yellow or brownish, the snout and nose are white from the upper lip to the eye level, some individuals are slightly stained with brownish yellow, the forehead, between the eyes to the base of the horn and the occipital part are brown and gray, mixed with a little black hair, the outside of the ears is sandy yellow, the lower lip and the midline of the throat are also white, and the white on the chest, abdomen and inner sides of the limbs are connected. The goose-throated antelope resembles a yellow sheep, and its tail is longer than that of a yellow sheep, so it is also called "long-tailed yellow sheep"; Because the male antelope has an enlarged throat when he is in estrus, it is like a goose's throat, so it is named "goose-throated antelope".
The goose-throated gazelle is mainly distributed in Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and the northwest provinces and regions of China, and the deserts of the Junggar Basin, Yarkand River Basin, and Lop Nur in Xinjiang. It inhabits dry and desolate desert and semi-desert areas at an altitude of 300-3000 meters. They feed mainly on the desert plants of the genus Porphyria, A. japonica, Artemisia spp., grasses and quinoa, and prefer to move in areas with springs, rivers and lakes. Snow leopards, wolves, and packs of jackals are their main predators. In late winter and early spring, estrus and mating, the following summer litter, the gestation period is about 6 months, each litter is 1-2 cubs, 1-2 years old sexual maturity, life expectancy is about 17 years.
The goose-throated gazelle is a second-class protected animal in China, and it is also a resource animal, which was hunted and killed in 1960, and its population has rebounded in recent years due to protection.
