Surviving Extinction

The scimitar-horned oryx, also known as the Sahara oryx, was declared "extinct in the wild" during the early part of the last decade. They were hunted for their horns and were also the victims of habitat loss and climate change. Now, the existence of the species relies on zoos and other conservation efforts. These oryx were photographed a couple of year back on the main savannah at Kilimanjaro Safaris.
