Default RE: New Mexico Oryx

Treedog-- sorry I'm not to adept at these computer skills. Much better at chasing elk in the Rockies LOL Anyway an Oryx is another name for a gemsbuck. They are a desert antelope from the Kalahari Desert in Nambia. The have a long black spike horn usually around 36" to 48". They are big about the size of a spike bull. They have a tan body with black stockings & a brautiful black & white face. They have been known to kill a lion with those long horns!
Hope this helps.
