Meet the gemsbok, the largest and most well-known of the four oryx species. At Fossil Rim, you'll find them in our third pasture, also known as the Main Pasture. Notice how different the calves look compared to the adults? They start out a brownish-tan color, which helps them blend into their surroundings until their horns grow large enough to offer protection. #wildlife #gemsbok #fossilrim #wildlifepark #safaripark #traveltexas #thingstodoindallas #thingstodoinfortworth | Fossil Rim Wildlife Ce
