The Arabian oryx formerly occurred through most of the Arabian Peninsula, north to Kuwait and Iraq. They are able to detect rainfall from a great distance and move in the direction of fresh plant growth. Since rainfall is irregular they must travel over hundreds of square kilometers in no set pattern.


The Arabian oryx feed on diverse types of grasses and shrubs found in their arid habitat. They go to streams and water holes to drink. When free water is not available, they can obtain moisture from sources such as melons and succulent bulbs, which is sufficient for lengthy periods of time.
The Arabian Oryx or White Oryx is a bovid, native in the Arabian Peninsula, north of Kuwait and Iraq. An Arabian Oryx stands about 1 m high at the shoulder and weighs about 70 kg.
The main cause of the extinction of the Arabian oryx in the wild was overhunting, both hunting by Bedouin for meat and hides as well as sport hunting by motorized parties. Poaching of re-introduced wild Arabian oryx has become a serious threat again.

Herds of Arabian Oryx follow infrequent rains to eat new plants that grow afterwards. They are able to detect rainfall from a distance and follow in the direction of fresh plant growth. The number of individuals in herd can vary greatly, can be up to 100 individual have been reported, but the average is 10 or fewer individuals. When the Oryx is not wandering its habitat or eating, it digs shallow depressions in soft ground under shrubs or trees for resting.

|trivia=* In 1986, the Arabian Oryx is classified as endangered on the IUCN Red List, and in 2011, it was the first animal to revert to vulnerable status after previously being listed as extinct in the wild. The last wild Arabian Oryx was shot in 1972. Since that time, intense conservation and re-introduction efforts have increased the species's wild population to 1,000 individuals.
