The current state of jeyran in the Charyn state national nature park (Gazella subgutturosa Güldenstädt, 1780)

Introduction:

Most members of the order Artiodactyla are slender, beautiful animals. Many species of ungulates have horns that grow from the forehead. Some of them fall off year after year, while others last a lifetime. In particular, Charyn State National Nature Park is inhabited by a very slender-bodied goitered animal with a body length of 93-116 cm and a height of 60-75 cm (Mlekopitayushie SSSR, 1970).

Jeyran is a representative of deserts and semi-deserts. Until recently, the gazelle lived in all the deserts and semi-deserts of Asia and was a species for hunting. Its meat has high palatability, and the skin is used for making outerwear and footwear, as well as for dressing very soft and durable soft leather. Goitered gazelles have been hunted in the desert for thousands of years, and their numbers did not decrease until modern technology came to the rescue. Dzeren has long attracted the attention of researchers, but it is very difficult for them to follow it, and the number of animals is very small, so there are few special works on ecology. The declining population of goitered gazelles everywhere makes it difficult to conduct comprehensive studies and in many cases does not allow research. Recently published materials describe only the number of heads of this animal and some aspects of its life. In addition, the goitered gazelle is of scientific and economic interest as a hunting species in Central Asia and Kazakhstan (Atlas of important biological species, 2006; Meldebekov and Bekenov, 2008). Goitered gazelle (Gazella subgutturosa Güldenstädt, 1780) is a bipedal mammal belonging to the genus Gazella. Body length 93-116 cm, withers height 60-75 cm, weight 18-33 kg. Males have lyre-shaped black horns about 30 cm long. Females have no horns (Sokolov, 1984).
