[QUOTE="Plinker147, post: 1887083, member: 88320"] They were brought in for hunting purposes. In fact the NM game and fish brought in multiple African species and raised in Red Rock to see which ones could handle the conditions. Oryx handled the winters better than Kudo, and a few others. The Oryx can live and thrive in the desert environment where not much native ungulate wildlife lived. WSMR has very limited water and Oryx can survive with out water for long periods. Interesting how they were better adaptive than the native wildlife. They have made a great resource. Siberian and Persian Ibex were introduced in the same way. The Siberian’s didn’t make it but the persian(bezoar) thrived. [/QUOTE]
