Oryx (Oryx gazella) were introduced into southern New Mexico, USA on the White Sands Missile Range (across the San Andres Mountains) during the late 1960’s. Today, groups of these non-native herbivores can be found throughout the Jornada Basin. This oryx stands among the honey mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa) and soaptree yucca (Yucca elata) on the Jornada Basin LTER site on a June morning.
