During late autumn, Central Asia’s saiga antelopes adapt to plunging temperatures. Their summer fur turns into a woolly, white or pale coat, insulating against the cold and camouflaging them in snowy landscapes.
This transformation helps protect them from predators across their habitats in countries like Kazakhstan, Russia, and Mongolia. As spring arrives, they shed this coat, returning to their lighter summer fur.
