These are Beisa oryx (see amount of white on face, lack of black on hind legs, narrow flank stripe)
 
Even if we consider this as a valid species, the photograph was taken in 2006, just only a year after somebody wanted to elevate to species the well known taxon that always has been considered as subspecies during many decades by everybody in the whole world. So relax please, I knew that they're beisa, just included them in the gemsbok species (as almost sure did the own zoo sign also at the time of the photograph)
