[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The scimitar-horned oryx, named for its scimitar-shaped horns, weighs up to 220 kg (480 lb). The oryx inhabits the sub-desert lands - the transition zones between true desert (Sahara) and the Sahel. It is found in rolling dunes, grassy steppes and wooded inter-dunal depressions. It very rarely penetrates either true desert or true Sahel country.
A small herd lives in captivity in Israel.

Privet Eyal.
I have looked back to look, whether she has looked back, whether to look I have looked back. I love such moments.

(Я оглянулся посмотреть, не оглянулась ли она, чтоб посмотреть не оглянулся ли я.)

... I am just trying...

Did this happen on the planet earth? It looks to me as a fairytale, as a unicorn with two corns ( and turned backwards). Thanks a lot!

great pic, as usual, dash Ori
