Gemsbok (Oryx gazella) - One of 29 Antelope Species found in South Africa

Majestic. Beautiful. Graceful. Powerful. These are just a few words to describe this wonderful antelope of the desert.

These photos were taken in the Kgalagadi Teansfrontier Park in South Africa. This Park is a joint Park with South Africa and Botswana in the Kalahari desert.

These animals have adapted to life in the desert with a special cooling system allowing blood cooled through the nostrils before going to the brain.

Ah, the Oryx, beloved by crossword puzzle makers. Can you help me help others help themselves?

It was august 2014 and it was my birthday when i met this guy, he was introduced by a friend whom to be his cousin. He told me that at the age of 20 he is already a father. He got this cute little girl with his ex gf. September 2014 he started courting me, we started dating. He will sleep over my house every night. Six months later, something happened to my businesses and i needed to move to the other city. He will still visit me two to three times a week and sleep over once a week. March 2015, i got pregnant and things seem to be normal between me and my bf. I never got chance to go back to his city or visit his family since i got pregnant. September 2015 my boyfriend died cause of a motorbike accident.

Sabía la naturaleza que se encargo de diseñar en su rostro un diseño tan espectacular. El diseño de sus cuernos es perfecto. Saludos y me gustaron demasiado las tomas fotográficas.

Oryx gazella are rear now in Africa....
They are really very beautiful than deer.
Thanks for sharing this post...

those antelopes have a 4 x4 jeep breathing system

South Africa is really exotic and i wish i could be there soon

I am always amazed at how large the oryx can get considering the harsh environment it lives in. It just goes to confirm that nature is amazing! I once watched a documentary of the Kalahari bushmen hunting an oryx and killing it. They couldn't take all the meat home at once!

So beautiful animal. I love it. Good post. Thanks for sharing.
