feared_rear_admiral: I couldn’t believe this thing is real, it looks like something that would be in a Halo game or Horizon Zero Dawn or something like that.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saiga_antelope
Patjaykay: *quick! Alert the longsnoots Jabba the Hutt has returned!*
midusyouch: So why does it’s nose look like that?
justinsayin: I seriously don’t understand how it is that I’m 42 years old and every few months I’m still being presented with a photograph of another animal I’ve never even heard of. Not on Wild Kingdom, not in a circus or a zoo, not even in a story or picture book.
FunkyJR: Looks like all the animals from No man’s sky
RaunchyBushrabbit: Looks like it couldn’t decide to be an antilope, a koala or an elephant and got stuck halfway.
Relper: Is there a sub for unusual animal species?
beardol: God left the symmetry button on when he was sculpting this guy.
Endarkend: Never seen Alf so horny.
ShamefulWatching: 4k No Man’s Sky
BlandJustice: Dats a cute goat-moose
braintweaker: Spore? Anyone?
danmw: This is also what the Saiga-12 semi-auto shotgun is named after.
PirateNinjaJedi: You know, I’ve always had the opinion that most animals look pretty strange if you really think about it. Turtles have a giant rocky shell growing on their backs, elephants have a 4 foot long hose growing out of their faces, octopuses look like something that the ocean sneezed up during allergy season, snakes look like long, scaly, biting noodles! If we weren’t used to seeing these animals since we were kids, I think that our first experience with most animals would probably be filled with bewilderment, awe, and probably a good dose of fear.
grimdawg83: Looks like those ugly aliens you find in the game No Man’s Sky.
rxjen: He’s so ugly cute. Like so ugly it’s adorable.
Capn_Cornflake: It’s the Lord of the Mountain from Breath of the Wild lol

bounce217: Damn right when I’d thought I’ve seen every species
poofacedlemur: BING BONG, BING BONG
ArcChael: koala ears, gazelle horns, and that nose!
Iamnotburgerking: These guys used to live in North America as well, but we put an end to that.
Also a big reason they are endangered is due to conservationists trying to save rhinos: they suggested this as a substitute.
paradisenot: Final fantasy creatures.
bullhorn_bigass: Omg, that thing is freaking adorable.
Louseatmac: Maybe a doctor Seuss creation?
SalvorCo: Saiga makes a fine rifle too
CreaturesFarley: Pretty sure I saw this dude playing a jaunty tune in some off-world cantina and long, long time ago.
Fairy_Squad_Mother: Mulefa
scotscott: humans will never be as creative as millions of years of evolution.
Konijndijk: Reddit: Amazing natural wonder looks like video game.
Runs_towards_fire: This thing could probably smell an ant fart through a telephone.
SuperSecretMoonBase: The saiga looks like it’s from Saga? Eh?
PancakeZombie: I should Play Spore again.
Big_Miss_Steak_: It’s ALF!
Aimnlo: Of course the Chinese killed every last one of theirs since they believe in ‘magic horns’.

examinedliving: Sega Antelope. There ya go.
tracklessCenobite: I want to give them kisses on their adorable, floofy face! 😀
lolimonreddit23: Alright, WTF
wellscounty: My 5 year old knew the pronunciation and where this funny faces guy lives. Wtf? My kid is too smart.
Telecanine: Maybe a pokemon
Zurzily: Holy shit it’s Alf
sec713: You’re not wrong. When it was created it was a Saiga Genesis.
A_Cursed_Potato: Heehee nice snoot 🙂
20CharactersAintEnou: Looks like the woolies from Samurai Jack
hipsterfiend: M83
indomitous111: Maybe alien appearance won’t be too far off from our own
PowerPeels: Yep, it does.
Jabwarrior58: Reminds of starbound’s creature generator
ImThatMelanin: Interesting🤔
kyuuzousama: Looks like something from Gantz
znidz: “Fnorf?”
Vaht_Da_Fuck: Wonder if he knows he’s that ugly.
garrypig: “Why do guys like to stick their ding dong in warm, moist holes?”
“Because they’re warm and moist”
buyingaspaceship: i had no idea dis shit existed till today
craisin_bran: No Man’s Sky lmao
GurthGurth: First thing I thought of was this guy.

dhays2000: Life can always throw stuff at you, that you could never dream up.
suleb: ShowerThought: Maybe the reason animals in science fiction or video games look the way they do is because they were inspired by what we see on our own earth.
tommythestone420: Nigga what kind of tauntaun is this?
izwald88: I have one of their rifles. They make a quality product.
Oul: What
slayer_of_idiots: This needs to be reintroduced to North America so they can be properly managed, restored to a large population, and hunted again. It would be awesome to go into a Bass Pro and see a full size mount of this.
ItsZeT: i am the juggernaut, b****!
Alnothh: karmawave
MrsTrustIssues: I’m pretty sure this is my zodiac sign.
zombieparadise23: That thing is real??!!
zerg_rush_lol: Just looking at this picture makes my nose hurt..
RefrigeratedTP: That poor elephant 😢
Zip668: Reminds me of a [catalburun](https://www.google.com/search?q=catalburun&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiS-cX52s3XAhXriFQKHcaHChQQ_AUICigB&biw=2133&bih=1054).
atypicalgamergirl: Clearly Pandyssian.
fort_wendy: Looks like Studio Ghibli
rspix000: side view https://imgur.com/a/M7pWM
nottaclevername: Aintcha never seen a koalephantelope bafore?
AshTheGoblin: A quarter decade on this earth and I never knew this animal even existed until today.
jnvincent93: Well they were in age of empires 3
Tetragrade: Dagoth-Ur welcomes you Nerever, come friend or traitor come.
leo1lion1: A failed attempt from science to create a new species – Now they conquer the world.
Nexcyus: Imagine seeing a lot of animals on earth if we had never seen them before, like how Coumbus must’ve felt when they saw all the animals in the new world, must’ve felt like seeing aliens
NickPickle05: Damn. Now thats a face for radio.
MistalX: Looks like something I would expect to see at Mos Eisley Cantina…
bluesuns110: I think these are the ones I saw in Planet Earth 2. My favorite part was when they move their head their whole nose jiggles

ChromaticSideways: More like Sega Antelope
*wheeeeeeeeeeeze*
min856: these guys, red river hogs, tapirs….Starwars animals.
Ryan_the_Reaper: Wtf
UserNaemCzechsOut: If I saw that in the wild I would think I was going insane.
skeddles: This pic sure has been getting around lately
seen72: I finally found my spirit animal
BABYCAKESxUNKILLABLE: Now I get why Izmash named their streetsweeper shotgun the Saiga. It’s nose looks like a flaccid double barrel shotgun!
juintel: Ok ok ok, so I don’t want to be alone here, but has somebody ever had the thought that some of us want to see other life forms in other planets, because they would be so surprisingly different? Then you come to the realization that there is some things just on the planet you live in that, just seems so fucking alien? Then you get to watch them for a long time and they sort of loose that shock factor and they become ordinary . I actually forgot where I was going with this, but it gets you thinking.
sleep_needed: I think I saw him in the Cantina scene
alwaysout2lunch: AHAH HAHAHA gorgeous
Whaddaya Say?
