Saiga antelopes used to have widespread populations
throughout the northern hemisphere.
Today’s saiga antelope populations are mainly isolated to Kalmykia and
Kazakhstan.

In May of 2015, the
already endangered saiga antelopes faced huge die-offs, killing half of their
populations in a few months.

The die-offs have now ended but the cause of the deaths is
still unknown, many speculate that a bacterial disease was at fault.
