| Oryx dammah, also known as the Sahara oryx, is a species of Oryx once widespread across North Africa which went extinct in the wild in 2000.
It has a long taxonomic history since its scientific description in 1816 by Lorenz Oken, who named it Oryx algazel. This antelope stands a little more than 1 metre 3.3 ft at the shoulder. The males weigh 140ââ¬â210 kg 310ââ¬â460 lb and the females weigh 91ââ¬â140 kg 201ââ¬â309 lb. The coat is white with a red-brown chest and black markings on the forehead and down the length of the nose. The calves are born with a yellow coat without distinguishing marks; their coats change to adult coloration at 3ââ¬â12 months old.
