Gemsbok

The Gemsbok is the largest of the oryx, and the only one with rounded ears.  They have distinctive black and white face markings.  Both males and females have long spear like horns and its often hard to tell them apart.  The horns of the calves grow extremely fast, and when they emerge from concealment after birth, their horns are very evident. This has lead to the myth that a Gemsbok is born with horns.

Gemsbok are aggresive.
