Beisa Oryx Hunting African Safaris

Beisa Oryx (Oryx gazella beisa) Search Our Hunting Trips for: Current all time records SCI: Score 92 7/8 - Ethiopia, Omo River - 3/87 Rowland Ward: Score 43 - Ethiopia - 1970 Description: The grey-brown coat is separated from the white undersides by a thin black flank stripe. There are black bands above the "knees" of the front legs. The conspicuous black facial markings include a thick stripe running from the base of the horns, through the eye, to the lower cheek, a bell-shaped nose patch which does not usually touch the cheek stripes, and a patch on the forehead. There is a thin black dorsal stripe which runs into the black, tufted tail. The ears are long and narrow, and, in the browner fringe-eared oryx (O. b. callotis), have a tuft of black hairs at the tips. The horns are long, narrow, and virtually parallel, ridged on the lower half. Found in both sexes, they grow 75-120 cm / 2.5-4 feet long. Other Common Names: East African Oryx Size: Range: Hunted only in Ethiopia, but occurs in Sudan, Somalia, Uganda, and Kenya; year around. Natural History: The Beisa Oryx has a number of physiological adaptations which allow it to conserve water. Under conditions of extreme heat and low water, the Oryx can raise its body temperature to 46.5 C (116 F). Up to this temperature, there is a normal flow of heat from the body to the environment without a loss of water. Only after this point does it start to perspire. Herds have a definite hierarchy, with a cow leading the herd and an 'alpha bull' bringing up the rear. However, if the lead cow strays off the set course, the bull hurries to the front to redirect the march. When threatened, Beisa usually flee, although when cornered they present a spirited defense, sometimes inflicting fatal injuries with their spear-like horns. Hunting Characteristics:
