Addax nasomaculatus - A band of white hair forms an “X” across the nose
3 years ago

Addax have shorter legs than most antelope, which give them a low center of gravity and keep them steady – even on shifting desert sands. A stocky build and those sturdy, short legs give the addax endurance but not speed. Their hooves are broad and rounded for sandy terrain.
The summer coat of addax is white to reflect the sun’s heat, while their winter coat of darker tan absorbs the sun’s heat. A dark brown forehead tuft has been called a “toupée” by some.
