In some ancient cultures, the animals depicted resembled Salukis, with greyhound-like bodies and long ears.

Due to their fast speed, they are used to catch sheep in Arab countries. They attack antelopes under the guidance of falcons. We also believe that they can catch foxes and rabbits. In the UK, their task is to find rabbits in the shortest possible time.
