Characteristics A large antelope adapted to life in steppe and desert conditions. They can regulate body temperature to limit perspiration, wide hooves make it easier to navigate sand, kidneys regulate water loss, allowing the animal to survive in dry areas. Reaches about 1.2 m in height at the withers and weighs about 200 kg. Very long, saber-like bent horns were - apart from limiting the area of occurrence - one of the main causes of extinction, constituting a trophy for hunters. Saber-horned oryxes form herds of a dozen individuals of both sexes. The female gives birth to one young. Currently, efforts are being made to reintroduce the species [4] from individuals kept in zoos and national parks in many countries around the world.
