摘要

For a long time, researchers of former USSR believed that goitered gazelles had harems during the rutting season. It was only later that it was discovered that each male occupies its own territory during the rut, where it chases after females who only cross the network of individual territories of different males. This behavior is typical for all gazelle species, and the goitered gazelle is no exception.
