Gemsbok  (Oryx gazella)

Classified as Lower Risk / Conservation Dependent (LR/cd) on the IUCN Red List 2007 (1). The status of the gemsbok is currently under review for the IUCN Red List 2008. The IUCN Red List currently classifies the gemsbok as one species with five subspecies (as described here); however, current taxonomy suggests it is likely to be two separate species: Oryx gazella and Oryx beisa, with the latter having two subspecies, Oryx beisa beisa and Oryx beisa callotis.
