Three of the four oryx species call Fossil Rim home. A family trait of the Oryx genus are their horns, that can reach over 3 ft in length. 🤯 The oryx refers to four large antelope of the genus Oryx: the Arabian oryx (O. leucoryx) which can be found in the game preserve pasture with the giraffe. The scimitar-horned oryx (O. dammah) who can be found in our front pasture with the southern white rhino. The gemsbok (O. gazella) which can be found in the main pasture with the addax antelope.

Meet the gemsbok, the largest and most well-known of the four oryx species. At Fossil Rim, you'll find them in our third pasture, also known as the Main Pasture. Notice how different the calves look compared to the adults? They start out a brownish-tan color, which helps them blend into their surroundings until their horns grow large enough to offer protection. #wildlife #gemsbok #fossilrim #wildlifepark #safaripark #traveltexas #thingstodoindallas #thingstodoinfortworth | Fossil Rim Wildlife Ce
