Gemsbok

The Gemsbok or gemsbuck Oryx gazella, is a large African Oryx antelope. The name is derived from the German name of the male chamois, "Gemsbock". Although there are some superficial similarities in appearance (especially in the colour of the face area), the chamois and the oryx are not related.
