Scimitar-horned Oryx (Oryx dammah)

Scimitar-horned Oryx (Oryx dammah)_2

I see a lot of oryx because I visit a lot of zoos. I have to remind myself that they extinct in the wild. Today, according to the IUCN red list, there are:

* 130 in captivity in Bou Hedma, Tunisia
* 25 in Sidi-Toui, Tunisia
* 12 in Oued Dekouk, Tunisia
* 240 in Souss-Massa, Morocco
* 18 in Guembeul, Senegal
* 12 in Ferlo, Senegal

There are also some recovery populations at the San Diego Zoo and the Phoenix Zoo.

There are also numerous ranches in Texas you can go to kill and eat them.

Yeah.
