The beisa oryx is exceptionally well adapted to life in arid environments, able to survive for long periods without drinking by obtaining moisture from the plants it eats. In places like Samburu, it often remains active during the cooler hours of morning and evening, when the desert landscape begins to come alive. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 560, f/5.6 at 1/250th of a second.
