Oryx leucoryx

Oryx leucoryx, commonly known as the Arabian oryx, is a medium-sized antelope native to the Arabian Peninsula. It has striking white fur with long straight horns and is well-adapted to desert environments, where it can survive without drinking water for long periods. Once nearly extinct in the wild due to hunting and habitat loss, conservation efforts have helped restore its population. Today, the Arabian oryx is protected in reserves and is a symbol of wildlife conservation success, representing the importance of preserving endangered species and their habitats.
