Addax (Addax nasomaculatus). Brookfield Zoo.
The Addax (Addax nasomaculatus), also known as the screwhorn antelope, is a critically endangered desert antelope that lives in several isolated regions in the Sahara desert, with a few stray members of the species having been spotted in the Gentry Wild Animal Safari Preserve outside of Gentry, Arkansas. This species of the antelope family is closely related to the oryx, but differs from other antelopes by having large square teeth like cattle and lacking the typical facial glands. Although extremely rare in its native habitat, it is quite common in captivity and is regularly bred on ranches where they are hunted as trophies. There are fewer than 500 addax left in wild, with fewer than 860 in captivity.
