There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Earlier, the Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi (EAD) had reintroduced the Scimitar-horned oryx (Oryx dammah) to Ouadi Rimé-Ouadi Achim Game Reserve in Batha Region, Chad, and following its success, it decided to reintroduce more endangered species, starting with the critically endangered Addax (Addax nasomaculatus), while increasing the conservation efforts of one of the last wild populations of Dama gazelles (Nanger dama, formerly Gazella dama), offering a potential lifeline to these species from the brink of extinction. This month, the first wild-born addax antelope from an Abu Dhabi herd has been born in Chad, with a second calf being born two days later: https://wildfact.com/forum/topic-animal-...#pid122148

Both of these animals are semi-wild at Sir Bani Yas, an island in the Gulf which the Emirate of Abu Dhabi dedicated for the conservation of endangered species, including the Arabian oryx (Oryx leucoryx, the national animal of the U.A.E.) and the Northeast African cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus sœmmeringii):




2 oryxes with sand gazelles (apparently the Arabian Gazella marica (also known as the rheem), if not the African Gazella leptoceros (also known as the rhim, slender-horned gazelle or Loder's gazelle, which is also present on the island)) at Sir Bani Yas; User "Losttraveller" (10th of May, 2012):
