Gemsbok
Oryx gazella
Gemsbok inhabit dry savannas, thornveld, and desert margins in southern Africa. They graze grasses and browse shrubs, using their ability to endure heat and obtain moisture from food to survive in very dry country. Both sexes carry long, straight horns and can use them with remarkable precision to defend themselves.
