.:Oryx Dammah:.
« on: May 18, 2012, 01:13:26 pm »
Data:
Specialised for deserts,plains and rocky hills,it has many physiologigal adaptations to conserve body water.Its kidneys are very efficient and it sweats only when its body temperature exceeds 46C.It lives in herds of 20 to 40 animals.After 8 months gestation,the female will give birth to one,rarely two,calves that become independent after only 4 months.
This spesies was hunted almost to extinction and survives only in a reserve in Chad.Captive programs in zoos have been very efficient and relieses in the wild are planned.
I hope this animal won't die and its spieces will remain for centuries and on!Greek's Attic Zoo is on of the like 8 zoos that have this animal and joined the Captive breeding program!
