Oryx in Kalahari desert, Namibia.
This large antelope with its striking appearance of long horns and distinct colouration is the national animal of Namibia. The Oryx, also known as the Gemsbok, occurs in the more arid regions throughout the African continent where it feeds on course grasses and thorny shrubs.
The Oryx was chosen as Namibia’s national animal due to its courage, elegance and pride – with the national coat of arms bearing this unmistakable dweller of the desert.

Taken Schotia Safaris which is the oldest private game reserve in the Eastern Cape of South Africa bordering on the Eastern side of the Addo Elephant National Park.
In the expanse of the Arabian Desert, the sacred Oryx roam everywhere and ignores any human interest. They bear the scars of their own territorial arguments. This fine specimen was ambling past our 4 x 4 and didn't bother to look up.

In the early morning, between hot air balloons and oryx .
I never tire of these sumptuous landscapes !
Oryx have an unusual circulation system in their head. They are able to cool the blood flowing to their brain through the capillaries in their nose as they breathe.
When it gets too hot and shade is not available, oryx dig shallow holes for resting and cooling down.

This is one of my little models called an Oryx. They live in
Africa. But since I don't have photos of Africa, I placed the Oryx in one of the photos I took while walking the Black Diamond Trail in Upstate, NY.

Oryx in the water during a hot day in Etosha - Namibia
Oryx can survive for extended periods in extreme heat without water, but here they take the opportunity to wade into the water to drink and cool down.

L'Oryx algazelle vivait dans les steppes et les semi-déserts du centre du Niger, du Tchad et du sud de la Libye, le Sahara. Les dernières populations sauvages s'y sont éteintes dans les années 1970-1980. La survie de l'espèce repose aujourd'hui sur les populations captives : des projets de réintroduction sont en cours depuis le début des années 2000, dans les réserves du Maroc, du Sénégal et de Tunisie.
