@fossilrimwildlife: The arabian oryx was at one point extinct in the wild! This means that there were no more breeding individuals left to sustain the population. Original reintroduction efforts were almost thwarted by poaching, but with international help they have been reestablished and were the first mammal to have their IUCN status changed from “extinct” to another simply “vulnerable!” #arabianoryx #antelope #endangeredspecies #fossilrimwildlifecenter
