Hybrid oryx?
09-06-2008
Can someone help me out please. I've got in into my head that a couple of hybrid oryx (Arabian x Scimitar-horned?) were born in a New Zealand zoo a few years ago. I thought this was at Auckland, but I e-mailed the zoo and they say it was not there. Have I imagined it?

Hi, unfortunately I can’t help You completely, but I’m sure that there was at least one event when the mentioned two species, exactly male Scimitar-horned oryx & female Arabian oryx produced a hybrid, but I don't know where it was happened.

Oryx in NZ
09-06-2008
Try Orana Park near Christchurch . I am not sure exactly which speciers of oryx , but I do know that they have had several breeding successes with these .
To my knowledge , it is the only zoo in NZ that has ever kept oryx , but they have done very well down there . |

there have never been Arabian oryx in NZ as far as I know. It would be very unlikely if there were. Scimitar-horned oryx and gemsbok are the only oryx to have been kept in NZ
