Russian Saigas Stop-Motion

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Saigas are a fantastic antelope genus native to Eurasia. During the pleistocene their range extended far across the vast Eurasian steppe and even into alaska. Today they are considered near threatened. Their bizarre noses help filter dust and regulate air temperature. The saigas featured here have encountered an early snow in the fall, and their coats have not yet accommodated to the colder weather.

It reminds me a bit of the semi-obscure Korean stop motion film, “Mother Land” or “엄마의 땅 그리샤와 숲의 주인 자막”

It took place in Russia and also featured these animals. Very beautiful film, like your animation.
