Pronghorn antelopes I saw at Jentel! First time I ever saw a baby one without their mum (this is normal for them to hide in the sage, Mum will be back. Maybe that's her in the second picture; that was one of several females I saw on that hike.)
I never would have noticed the baby there if I hadn't stopped to look at map or camera or something while hiking. They were silent and motionless but those big black eyes... you can sense them...SO BABY!

Every spring and autumn, rivers of saiga antelope once flowed across the steppes of central Asia. In herds of 200,000 the nomadic animals migrated thousands of miles in search of fresh grass and fairer weather. Dating back to the Ice Age, saiga once roamed from Britain all the way to Canada, alongside woolly rhinos and mammoths. They are even depicted in rock art found in 19,000-year-old caves in Marseille, France. Today, their range has diminished, as disease and poaching caused populations to collapse. The majority live in Kazakhstan, with smaller populations in Uzbekistan and Russia. Another isolated population lives in Mongolia. But recent conservation efforts by organizations like the Altyn Dala Conservation Initiative are helping saiga numbers rebound, and so this Ice Age antelope continues to roam the vast grasslands of central Asia...

For anyone wanting some other "symbiotic" ideas for anthros/monsters/creature pairings: Spiders and Antelopes!
Maybe a drider and a kaiju-sized horned forest guardian/spirit?
Or maybe a drider/spider-person is a camp counselor and does this for horned campers, to help with bug control!
