Two powerful oryxes fighting in clouds of dust.

Gemsboks have spectacular horns that average 33 in in length which unfortunalely make them a choice trophy for hunters. While the females use their horns to protect themselves and their youngs from predators, males use theirs to defend their terrirories from other males in powerful clashes that can be deadly with such weapons.
