Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| P. R. Krausman and A. L. Casey 2007 | Face of addax (Fig. 1) can be distinguished from face of partially sympatric scimitar-horned oryx (Oryx dam- mah) by spiral twisting of ringed horns and facial markings of addax. Horns of adult addax have from 1.5 to 3 flattish spirals directed upward and outward (Fig. 2; Walker et al. 1964); in con- trast, horns of scimitar-horned oryx are up to 127 cm long, with parallel, backward curvature (Dorst and Dandelot 1970). Forehead of addax has a dark brown tuft of hair from base of horns to between eyes. Below this tuft of hair, addax has a white patch that extends outward to middle of cheek. In contrast, scimitar-horned oryx has a white head with a brown blaze on forehead and a brown lateral stripe across eyes (Dorst and Dandelot 1970). |
