Oryx:
Kind of gazelle or antelope of the Bovidae family living in Africa especially in the savannah, as well as in the Arabian Peninsula, where they had disappeared before being reintroduced. Oryx are typically recognized by their long, thin, straight, backward-pointing horns, relatively short mane, shoulder hump, and large hooves. Their coat is fine, white and has black, gray and/or brown markings. Both sexes wear horns. They have a height at the withers of 81 to 120 cm and a body mass of 65 to 200 kg. Their horns measure between 38 and 127 cm. Its name is often confused with Okapi for reasons of graphic appearance and head color. The okapi is the only species of the Okapia genus and one of the last five species of the giraffidae family (giraffe, etc.).
