SCIMITAR HORNED ORYX SHOULDER MOUNT
Oryx dammah
This unusual-looking animal takes its name from its long scimitar-shaped horns. Almost extinct in its native land of Chad, it is another wonderful success story of modern conservation efforts and sportsmen's dollars saving this species. A semi-desert grazer, it is gregarious and mixes well with other herd animals on Exotic Game Ranches here in the southwestern U.S. This is a mature Bull with horns measuring 36 1/8 x 35 1/8 inches long and bases each 6 3/8 inches around. With above-average quality taxidermy and beautiful coloring, this mount measures 48½ inches high from the bottom of the brisket to the top of horns, 38½ inches wide and projects from the wall to the tip of the nose 19¾ inches.
