How do Arabian Oryx migrate in search of food and water?

The Arabian Oryx, also known as the white Oryx, is a desert antelope that can migrate up to 70 miles in search of food and water. These animals have adapted to the harsh desert conditions by being able to go for long periods without water, and can survive on the moisture from plants alone. During the dry season, when water and vegetation are scarce, Oryx herds will migrate to areas with more plentiful resources.

These migrations are led by older and more experienced females, who have knowledge of where to find water and food. The herds will typically move at night to avoid the extreme heat of the day, and can travel up to 15 miles per day. The Oryx will also slow their metabolism to conserve energy and water, and can tolerate high temperatures that would be deadly to many other mammals.
