Scimitar-horned Oryx

By: Nadee Date:

  INFORMATION

Scimitar-horned Oryx are unique desert antelopes. They're famous for their long, curved horns that resemble old-fashioned swords. These horns can be very impressive, sometimes growing as long as a tall grown-up!

They're specially built for desert life. Their light-colored coat helps them blend into the sandy surroundings, and they have hooves that are just right for moving around in the desert sand.

These oryx like to be with their friends. They often gather in groups, looking out for food and keeping an eye out for any dangers nearby.

Sadly, you won't find them in the wild anymore. They're extinct in their natural homes. But people are working hard to help them have a safe place to live again.

FUN FACTS

  • Scimitar-horned Oryx are skilled at finding cooler ground in the desert by digging holes in the sand.
  • They're incredibly fast, reaching speeds of up to 32 miles per hour (51 kilometers per hour) when needed.
  • In the past, they could survive for months without water, getting most of their moisture from the plants they ate.
  • Their curved horns serve multiple purposes, including defense and clearing sand from plants.
  • They have a special eye coating that shields them from the desert's harsh conditions.

  • Baby Scimitar-horned Oryx are born with a light brown coat, which helps them blend into their desert habitat!
