  • U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Affirms Protection for Three African Antelope Species Under the ESA
    May 31, 2013 Contact: Claire Cassel 703-358-2357 [email protected] U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Affirms Protection for Three African Antelope Species under the ESA U.S. captive-bred specimens of three endangered African antelope species — the scimitar-horned oryx, dama gazelle and addax – continue to warrant protection under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced today. In findings made in response to two petitions seeking the removal of U.S. captive populations of these endangered species from the Federal List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife, the Service has determined that providing separate legal status to captive specimens of protected species is not permissible under the ESA. The findings will not impact the current, legal operation of game ranching operations and are consistent with the Service’s longstanding practice for applying the protections of the ESA to captive individuals of species that are threatened or endangered in the wild. The findings were submitted to the Federal Register on May 31. In 2005, the Service added these three antelope species to the Federal List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife. The species all inhabit the sparse desert regions of northern Africa. Populations for all three species have been greatly reduced as a result of habitat loss, military activity and uncontrolled killing. In the wild, the scimitar-horned oryx may be extirpated, and the other two species are each estimated to number fewer than 500 individuals. Each of the three species occurs in greater numbers in captivity than in the wild, and many of the captive animals are held on private ranches in the United States.

  • Addax (Addax Nasomaculatus), Scimitar- Horned Oryx (Oryx Dammah), Arabian Oryx (Oryx Leucoryx), and Sable Antelope (Hippotragus Niger)
    Zoo Biology 20:47–54 (2001) Comparisons Among Selected Neonatal Biomedical Parameters of Four Species of Semi-Free Ranging Hippotragini: Addax (Addax nasomaculatus), Scimitar- horned Oryx (Oryx dammah), Arabian Oryx (Oryx leucoryx), and Sable Antelope (Hippotragus niger) Shannon T. Ferrell,1* Robin W. Radcliffe,1 Rodney Marsh,1 Cathy B. Thurman,1 Christine M. Cartwright,1 Thomas W.J. De Maar,2 Evan S Blumer,3 Ed Spevak,4 and Steven A. Osofsky5 1Fossil Rim Wildlife Center, Department of Animal Health Services, Glen Rose, Texas 2Ol Jogi, Ltd., Nanyuki, Kenya 3The Wilds, Cumberland, Ohio 4Wildlife Conservation Society, Bronx, New York 5World Wildlife Fund, Washington, D.C. Basic biomedical data from 164 neonates of four species of the tribe Hippotragini, addax (Addax nasomaculatus), scimitar-horned oryx (Oryx dammah), Arabian oryx (Oryx leucoryx), and sable antelope (Hippotragus niger), were compared at one zoological institution over a 9-year period. Measured biomedical parameters included body weight, temperature, pulse and respiratory rates, packed cell vol- ume (PCV), total plasma protein, glucose, IgG assessment via zinc sulfate tur- bidity, and white blood cell count with differential. All species were maintained in a semi-free ranging setting with the same diet, available shelter, and opportu- nity for social interaction. Based on clinical and field observations, all neonates used in the study were believed to be at least 24 hr old, to have bonded with the dam, and to have no obvious physical abnormalities. Median body weights were similar only in the addax and Arabian oryx with sable antelope having the larg- est median body weight. No significant differences in rectal temperatures or pulse rates were found among species.

Please summarize the overall results/impact of your project. The project worked at three main levels as identified originally during the proposal stage: 1. Building technical capacity of newly established conservation NGOs in Libya 2. Building partnerships between conservation NGOs in Libya and Jordan and; 3. Guide newly established conservation NGOs in Libya into proper CSOs set ups, roles and responsibilities, mandate and their strengths being grass route and membership based entities. SAC has worked with 2 CEPF grantees ( USDWE & RSCN) to ensure delivery of these objectives. For the first objective, the SAC has worked closely with RSCN through their headquarters and protected areas managers and staff at the site level where Libyan colleagues met and introduced to conservation values of the network of protected areas. the Libyan team were introduced to the protected areas in Jordan and enrolled in an intensive training course covering main themes: management of PAs, research and monitoring, engagement with local communities and socioeconomic approaches implemented by RSCN within their network of PAs.

  • Antelope (Includes Sables, Impalas, and Elands)
    Antelope (includes Sables, Impalas, and Elands) Range: antelope species can be found in parts of Africa, Asia, and the Middle East Habitat: varies widely, from savanna to woodlands to marshes and swamps to desert, depending on the species It’s about horns and hooves Horns— All antelope species have horns, although in some species they are only found on the males. The horns are made of a bony core, encased in a hard material made largely of keratin. They are permanently attached—not like a deer’s antlers, which are shed each year. Some antelope horns, like those of the kudu Tragelaphus sp. and eland Taurotragus sp., twist in interesting spirals; others have ridges, like those of the impala Aephyceros melampus and the sable antelope Hippotragus niger; and others grow in wide curves with a sharp point on the end, like those of the wildebeest Connochaetes sp. (also called the gnu, a name it gets from its call, which sounds like “ge-nu”). Antelope use their horns in defense against predators; males and sometimes females also use them to establish their position in a herd or to fight rivals Hooves— Hooves are another specialty for many antelope. Each hoof has a split down the middle, dividing the hoof into two “toes.” Because they live in wetlands and swamps, sitatungas Tragelaphus spekeii have wide hooves up to 7 inches (18 centimeters) across that help them walk on mud and mats of plants without slipping. Nile lechwes Kobus magaceros, which also live in swampy areas, have long, pointed hooves to give them sure footing in the water.

Beudels-Jamar, Pierre Devillers, René-Marie Lafontaine and John Newby Institut royal des Sciences naturelles de Belgique 39 ADDAX NASOMACULATUS 1. TAXONOMY AND NOMENCLATURE 1.1. Taxonomy. Addax nasomaculatus belongs to the tribe Hippotragini , sub-family Hippotraginae , family Bovidae , which comprises one extinct species, seven surviving species, and two evolutionary distinct subspecies in genera Oryx, Addax and Hippotragus (Simpson, 1945; Murray, 1984; Corbet et Hill, 1986; Wacher, 1988). All hippotraginids are adapted to the exploitation, generally at low density, of difficult, low-productivity habitats (Kingdon, 1982; Murray, 1984; Wacher, 1988; Beudels, 1993). The genus Addax is comprised of a single species, adapted to the desert. 1.2. Nomenclature. 1.2.1. Scientific name. Female Addax.Termit.1998. Niger. Addax nasomaculatus (De Blainville, 1816).

The examination will be conducted in English. Abstract Strandberg, Åsa. 2009. The Gazelle in Ancient Egyptian Art. Image and Meaning. Uppsala Studies in Egyptology 6. 262 pages, 83 figures. Published by the Department of Archaeology and Ancient History, Uppsala University. xviii +262 pp. ISSN 1650-9838, ISBN 978-91-506-2091-7. This thesis establishes the basic images of the gazelle in ancient Egyptian art and their meaning. A chronological overview of the categories of material featuring gazelle images is presented as a background to an interpretation. An introduction and review of the characteristics of the gazelle in the wild are presented in Chapters 1-2. The images of gazelle in the Predynastic material are reviewed in Chapter 3, identifying the desert hunt as the main setting for gazelle imagery. Chapter 4 reviews the images of the gazelle in the desert hunt scenes from tombs and temples. The majority of the motifs characteristic for the gazelle are found in this context. Chapter 5 gives a typological analysis of the images of the gazelle from offering processions scenes. In this material the image of the nursing gazelle is given particular importance. Similar images are also found on objects, where symbolic connotations can be discerned (Chapter 6).
