The South African Oryx is a medium-sized African antelope. It is an adoptable animal in Wildlife Park 3.
Description[]
The South African oryx, or Gemsbok, is the largest of the four species of Oryx antelope, standing 1.2m (3.9ft) at the shoulder. It is native to arid regions of Southern Africa such as the Kalahari Desert, although it has also been introduced to New Mexico, USA. Both males and females have long horns, which they will use to defend themselves from predators and deter rivals. Unusually for antelope, female South African oryx have longer horns than the males, although they are comparatively thinner.
South African oryx live in herds that can number forty individuals, lead by a dominant male. Although it largely eats grass, it will browse when grass is not available and will also eat fruit to satisfy its water intake. When threatened, an oryx can run at speeds of 60 km/h (37mph).
