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.
In this photo, another desert antelope can be seen - the Springbok.
