This strange, starwars-looking, unlucky animal is the Saiga antelope, native to Eastern Europe and Asia. With an estimated population at over two million by 1950, the hunting of Saiga was actually encouraged as an alternative for Rhino horn in traditional medicines. This was followed by uncontrolled hunting, bringing the Saiga to the brink of extinction. Today the species is still critically endangered with perhaps as few as 50,000 individuals.
