Emblematic, delicious (#14 in Namibia single-image series)

 

Southern Africa’s oryx – Oryx gazella, aka “gemsbok” – is the largest of the world’s four oryx species.

This handsome antelope is prominent on Namibia’s coat of arms.

Oryx is also a firm favourite of Namibian diners; if Namibia had a “Paul Hogan”, he’d surely entice tourists by offering to “throw some gemsbok on the braai”.
