2013羚羊系列在我心目中的排名如下:印度黑羚>中南大羚>彎角劍羚,當初官圖發佈時,這隻彎角劍羚原本是我最期盼的新品,拿到實品時感覺略有落差 (雖然也算水準之作) ,蹄部深灰色的塗裝和紅棕色的體毛搭起來有點突兀。

彎角劍羚 (資料來自於維基百科)
彎角劍羚 (Oryx dammah) ,又名白長角羚及白劍羚,是長角羚屬的一種,生活於整個北非地區。一般認為彎角劍羚已經在野外滅絕,但有報導稱小部份仍在尼日中部及乍德生存。

彎角劍羚肩高僅多於1米,重約200公斤。毛皮呈白色,胸部呈紅褐色,前額延至鼻端都有黑紋。牠的角幼長,像彎刀般向後彎曲,雄性及雌性的角都可長達1-1.25米。彎角劍羚棲息於草原及沙漠,專吃樹葉、草及水果。牠們的群族可達70頭,遷徙時會聚集幾千頭。牠們可以幾個星期不喝水也能生存,原因是牠們的腎臟可以阻止流失水份及控制體溫來避免流汗。

彎角劍羚因其角而被獵殺至接近滅絕。牠們曾一度分佈在整個撒哈拉沙漠,但現時已被認為是野外滅絕,不過仍有未經證實的報導稱在乍德及尼日發現牠們的蹤跡。1960年代曾有哺養彎曲劍羚的計劃。1996年統計有2145頭彎角劍羚在德克薩斯州,及最少有1250頭在其他地方的動物園及公園生存。在突尼西亞有一個群族被保存了下來,並正計劃擴展至野外。


Scimitar-Horned Oryx (information from wikipedia)
The scimitar oryx or scimitar-horned oryx (Oryx dammah), also known as the Sahara oryx, is a species of Oryx now extinct in the wild. It formerly inhabited all of North Africa. It has a long taxonomic history since its discovery in 1816 by Lorenz Oken, who named it the Oryx algazel. This spiral-horned antelope stands a little more than 1 metre (3.3 ft) at the shoulder. The males weigh 140–210 kg (310–460 lb) and the females weigh 91–140 kg (200–310 lb). The coat is white with a red-brown chest and black markings on the forehead and down the length of the nose. The calves are born with a yellow coat, and the distinguishing marks are initially absent. The coats change to adult coloration at 3–12 months old.

The scimitar oryx formed herds of mixed sexes of up to 70 members, usually guided by the bulls. They inhabited semideserts and deserts and were adapted to live in the extreme heat, with their efficient cooling mechanism and very low requirement of water. Scimitar oryx feed on foliage, grasses, succulent plants and plant parts during the night or early morning. Births peak between March and October. After a gestation of eight to nine months, one calf is born. Soon after, the female has a postpartum estrus.
