scimitar-horned oryx laying in grass

Investigating Oryx Diseases in Chad
Researchers are investigating infectious diseases that might circulate in wild antelope and domestic ungulates (like camels, cattle, goats and sheep) in Chad.
An adult scimitar horned oryx surveys a seemingly endless grassy plain. Close by, a baby oryx can be seen hiding among the yellow grass.

Scimitar-horned Oryx Reintroduction
Scimitar-horned oryx once ranged across most of North Africa but are now considered extinct in the wild. Smithsonian scientists are part of a collaborative effort to return oryx to part of their former range.
