Oryx in Sand Storm in UAE Desert
The Arabian Oryx extinct in 1970 and reintroduced in 1980 and till today by the great ruler of Dubai His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum and Abu Dhabi great ruler Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed and his family. The Arabian Oryx are thriving in the deep desert in UAE due to the conservation effort carried out in last three decades. The recent study reveals over 1000 Oryx in wild and these two is from that herd. It is the most successful mammal reintroduction program in UAE. I was lucky to capture them in sand storm as this.
