Oryx Figure by Schleich

Availability: In stock

Oryx antelopes live in the desert and can withstand extremely high temperatures of up to 113 degrees Fahrenheit.

Oryx have have slender horns, which are almost half as long as their bodies, and have a striking black and white "face mask." This is where they get their name, because "oryx" is Greek and basically means "pointed tool." Lions, leopards, and hyenas no doubt have to learn the hard way that these antelopes can also use them very well to defend themselves. us.
 
The oryx antelope has a trick against the heat. It raises its own body temperature until it is higher than that of its environment. This way it can give off heat and absorb "cooler" air.
