Gemsbok

Went blipping on the motorcycle this afternoon, but the ride was so good I didn't want to stop for pics. Snapped this one on the way in. There is a farm out in horse country that raises exotics for zoos. The following is from Wikipedia.

The gemsbok or gemsbuck (Oryx gazella) is a large antelope in the Oryx genus. It is native to the arid regions of Southern Africa, such as the Kalahari Desert. Some authorities formerly included the East African oryx as a subspecies. The current gemsbok population in South Africa is estimated at 373,000 specimens.
