🐃Goitered gazelle

Gazella subgutturosa (Güldenstaedt, 1780)

A gazela-persa (Gazella subgutturosa), também conhecida como gazela-das-areias ou gazela-da-areia, é uma gazela encontrada em uma grande área de Ásia Central, incluindo o oeste do Irã e o sul do Paquistão no final da faixa ocidental, bem como o deserto de Gobi. É classificada como vulnerável pela IUCN. O nome da espécie significa "completa abaixo da garganta" e se refere ao alargamento do pescoço e da garganta que o macho pode apresentar durante o acasalamento. Na verdade, não se trata de um bócio, que é causado pelo crescimento da glândula tireóide. A gazela-persa habita regiões de planície e planaltos de areia e cascalho. Pode correr em alta velocidade, e perambular de 10 a 30 km por dia; no inverno, essas distâncias são reduzidas para cerca de 1 a 3 km. Seus principais predadores são o guepardo-asiático e o leopardo, que compartilham o mesmo hábitat.
