Oryxes Antelopes (Oryx sp.)

[Spalea]

Jens Cullmann: " ‘Oryx, gemsbok, or both?’ I had some questions about the oryx when I posted a picture of a lion cub playing with a large horn. There are different types of oryx most of them belonging to the ‘antelope’ species. In Africa we mainly find the East African Oryx (Oryx beisa), and the South African Oryx (oryx gazelle) also known as ‘gemsbok’. They both have very long almost totally straight horns; the gemsbok is larger in size. I was lucky to capture a nice herd of gemsbok here just after the sunrise. . "
