Dzheirans live in deserts and semi-deserts in several Central Asian countries. Modern taxonomists distinguish 4 dzheiran subspecies: the Arabian dzheiran living on the Arab Peninsula, the Persian dzheiran of Eastern Transcaucasia, the Mongolian dzheiran living in Mongolia and northwestern China. The subspecies living on the territory of Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan is called Turkmen.
