Comments: | Kanji is a guess, but it seems reasonable: "One of the most un-gazelle-like gazelles, the goitered gazelle has been placed in its own subgenus: Trachelocele. Goiter is a condition in which the thyroid gland expands (usually due to a lack of iodine in the diet). While these gazelles do not actually have goiter, the expanded throats of males in the breeding season resembles the condition.
