The Oryx, an elegant white antelope, is one of the few mammals indigenous to
the Arabian Peninsula. It became extinct in Jordan around the 1920s. The last
known wild Oryx in the world was killed by hunters in Oman in 1972.
In 1978, eleven Oryx were re-located in Shawmari. The number of Oryx has now
increased to a phenomenal two hundred!
