In the mid-1980s, hundreds of lions suddenly disappeared from the Namib Desert. Now, equally mysteriously, they have returned. How can such a magnificent animal survive in one of the harshest deserts in the world?

2:30 I never understood how the Oryx horns were good for defense being so swept back but wow, seeing that they can basically stab at predators attacking from the rear. They now seem far more effective than most prey horns for that purpose.

Antelope horns are primarily for display and fighting each other rather than defense, and are often not used, running away is the main defense and have-a-go heroism is bred out of them as the heroes tend to get eaten.

@rrshankar2000 2 жыл бұрын

Very true, even I always thought they won't be effective but now realize that lions tend to attack more from behind and this is a very effective deterrent. I love how the lioness takes it easy and just rolls on the ground as if she is bored. The Oryx is also very cool and held its ground and is not panicking. Very fine animals.

I'd always thought Oryx horns seemed inefficient. To charge an enemy they'd have to bend their head so far into their chest they wouldn't be able to see. This video showed me how useful the curve is as lions almost always attack the rear 2:30 they can whip their head back and the horns are well lined up to impale the lion. Amazing.

@noneofyourbeeswax01 5 жыл бұрын

They're pretty effective going forward too - the only downside being that the Oryx has to attack blind, as it has to face it's head down looking back in order for its horns to point straight forward. But unlike deer, most antelope and oxes (bison, buffalo etc) use their horns in that way - they just don't have the rear coverage that Onyx do. I suspect they have evolved these more effecient horns because they tend to be more solitary than most antelope so they have to be more self-reliant when it comes to defending themselves.

@georgehunter2813 5 жыл бұрын

Our early ancestors developed similar strategies of mobile defense. No doubt the earlist defensive spears were recovered Oryx horns from Oryx carcasses. A spear not for throwing, but for standing ground against toothy carnivores. Confoundingly smart we were. We easily rebuffed predatory investigations when moving in numbers. We were deliberate and methodical. Confident and in no rush just like the Oryx and honey badgers.

@Rocko76 6 жыл бұрын

It seems that Oryxes are the only herbivores that are really aware of the dangerousness of their horns. They use them everytime they are attacked or to defend their calves. Male Impalas or male Kudus could easily injure cheetahs or leopards with their horns, but I’ve never seen them doing it.

@noneofyourbeeswax01 5 жыл бұрын

Shorter horned antelope can be grabbed by the neck by lions despite their defences, but the long horns of Oryx means that they just can't get close enough to lay claws on it anywhere. And if a lion is really worried it can always work around to the rear of an antelope, but the Oryx has that covered.

Wait, lions are only at several thousand in the wild? Just looked it up, they've been reduced massively from 200,000 to 20,000, but not below 10,000. Oryx are at 373,000 in the wild, but you're right, tragically many species are whats known as 'extinct in the wild', like the Scimitar oryx and Arabian oryx. The latter went extinct in the wild in the 70s, but now has 1000 individuals living freely (with 6000 - 7000 in captivity!). Poaching for their horns is their greatest threat... So despicable what we do to this world and the animals that inhabit it.

@ioi1989 6 жыл бұрын

Jason Rodriguez you can do a quick google search to see how in nature documentaries, the audio is added after filming. Yes they use pretty sophisticated equipment to film animals from far away and zoom in on them without losing quality but their sounds on the other hand can be easily lost to all of the static noise around. For example when you watch a documentary where they're filming a bunch of lions hunting buffaloes, and they're filming that chase from a helicopter, when you hear the sound of the buffalo's hooves, that noise is added in because it's obvious that the sound made by the helicopter's blades will trump over the sounds made by those animals, so what enlightened doggo said is true in this particular vid & in many more videos.
