The gemsbok (Oryx gazella) is a large antelope native to the arid regions of Southern Africa. Characterized by its striking black and white markings, particularly on its face and legs, and long, straight, spear-like horns, the gemsbok is well-adapted to survive in harsh desert environments. It has a robust build, allowing it to endure extreme temperatures and limited water resources, frequently found in the Kalahari and Namib Deserts. They are social animals, living in herds. Their diet consists primarily of grasses, shrubs, and roots. The gemsbok plays an important role in its ecosystem, and is also a popular game animal.
