  • Cover photo description:
  • Oryx dammah, also known as the Sahara oryx, is a species of Oryx once widespread across North Africa which went extinct in the wild in 2000. It has a long taxonomic history since its scientific description in 1816 by Lorenz Oken, who named it Oryx algazel. This antelope stands a little more than 1 metre 3.3 ft at the shoulder. The males weigh 140–210 kg 310–460 lb and the females weigh 91–140 kg 201–309 lb. The coat is white with a red-brown chest and black markings on the forehead and down the length of the nose. The calves are born with a yellow coat without distinguishing marks; their coats change to adult coloration at 3–12 months old. Photo taken in Moroccan zoo.
