What type of food does Saiga eat?

Saiga antelopes are grazers, meaning they primarily eat grass.

Here's a more detailed look at their diet:

* Grasses: They favor short, green grasses, especially those found in steppe and semi-desert environments.

* Herbs: They also consume a variety of herbs, including forbs, legumes, and sedges.

* Seasonal variation: Their diet changes with the seasons, adapting to the availability of different plants.

* Water: Saiga are able to get most of their water from the plants they eat, but they will drink from water sources when available.

It's important to note that the Saiga's unique, large, mobile nose helps them find and filter food, especially in dry, dusty environments.
