Fringe-eared Oryxes
These Fringe-eared Oryxes are about the size of a Wildebeest, but much less common. From a lookout over the Tarangire Conservation Area, we watched 15 feeding peacefully. They are lighter colored than Wildebeest, and their long horns go straight back without curving. They have black on their face, and the ends of their ears are black and irregular, which is the basis for their name. They are shy because of excessive hunting.
