The goitered gazelle lives in dry grasslands and deserts across a broad area from Central Asia to the Middle East. Its social grouping changes with the season.
The coat is sandy to yellowish brown, with a paler underside. Males have long, curved horns, and the dark part of the tail is conspicuous.
Korkeasaari Zoo reports that males and females of the nominate subspecies live in separate herds for most of the year and come together in autumn and winter.
An extinction-risk assessment has not been added yet.
