The oryx is a beautiful desert animal. It is closely related to the antelope. It has long spear-like horns. And a big muscular body. It's defined black markings on a pale fawn-colored face, give it a unique and breathtaking style.
Oryxes can be found in eastern and southern Africa. They live in dry arid areas like deserts, savannas, and steppes. They are an endangered species and only about 373,000 individuals roam this planet today. Watch this COOL VIDEO to learn more about them.
People like to hunt the oryxes because of its long horns, they consider it a very special achievement. Lions, hyenas, and African wild dogs feed on oryxes.
The horns itself are more than 3 feet tall. And it is the size of an average horse. They eat coarse grasses, and also they eat multiple varieties of thorny bushes.
I realize you believe I want oryxes to be left alone so that they can live the life they deserve. Do you think that you can find an oryx?
Wow!I did not know was an animal called Oryx. It looks really beautiful in the picture above. Three feet tall horns is a very interesting fact. I do want to find a oryx someday. I don't think people should kill a whole animal just for it's horn. I also like the video it gives a lot of information about them.
