Scimitar-horned oryx birth:

A Scimitar-horned oryx calf has been born.

With a further 14 Scimitar-horned oryx noted in the annual report as being born between the 2020-2021 period, it’s great to see this large herd continuing to grow - especially with zoos like Orana Wildlife Park phasing them out in recent months.
