The Arabian Oryx is well-adapted to the harsh desert conditions of its habitat. It has round, wide hooves that help it move across the sand dunes, where it feeds on grasses, herbs, and shrubs. Unfortunately, the Arabian Oryx was once in danger of extinction due to hunting and habitat loss, but some successful conservation efforts have helped its population recover in recent years. While it is still considered vulnerable, it is no longer on the critically endangered list.

The scientific classification of Arabian Oryx is as follows:

Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Artiodactyla Family: Bovidae Subfamily: Hippotraginae Genus: Oryx Species: Oryx leucoryx

The Arabian oryx is a medium-sized antelope with a distinct shoulder bump, long, straight horns, and a tufted tail. It is a bovid, and the smallest member of the genus Oryx, native to desert and steppe areas of the Arabian Peninsula. The Arabian oryx was extinct in the wild by the early 1970s, but was saved in zoos and private reserves, and was reintroduced into the wild starting in 1980. In 1986, the Arabian oryx was 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.
