Newborn calves can run with the herd within minutes of their birth.
Oryxes have a life span of about 20 years. Some people think that the unicorn of legend was based upon the oryx. Oryx have long, straight, ringed, permanent horns. Females have slightly longer but thinner horns. These horns provide excellent protection from predators, and have been known to kill lions and jackals.
