Gemsbok

The gemsbok (Oryx gazella) is a species of large antelope in the genus Oryx, native to the arid regions of southern Africa, such as the Kalahari Desert. It is depicted on the coat of arms of Namibia, and the total population of the species is estimated at 373,000 individuals. This male gemsbok was photographed in Namibia's Etosha National Park.
