A medium-sized antelope native to desert and steppe of the Arabian Peninsula.
A large antelope native to the arid regions of Southern Africa. (a.k.a. South African oryx)
Since it mostly exists in the desert and semi-desert environment of north Africa, the Scimitar Oryx (Oryx dammah) can go for years without water. It is also called the Sahara oryx or Scimitar-horned oryx. It feeds on foliage, grasses, and succulent plants. Scimitar Oryxes have a standing shoulder height between 35.4”-53.5” (90-136 cm), overall body length from 59”-90.6” (150-230 cm), standing height of roughly 44.1”-67.7” (112-172 cm), and a body width of 14.2”-21.7” (36-55 cm). The weight of a Scimitar Oryx is between 198-463 lb (90-210 kg). Scimitar Oryxes have a typical lifespan of 15-28 years.

ORYX / BERLIN / GERMANY ( 1907 - 1922 ) The German " Berliner Motorwagen Fabrik " started car production under the name ORYX in 1907. The first ORYX car had a 1555 ccm 4-cylinder engine and the radiator showed a round emblem ( see next two photos ). The factory merged with Duerkopp in 1909 but ORYX built cars under their own name further. Now there was a kidney - shaped radiator emblem. There was also a light commercial car called ERYX ( I don´t know if there was a special ERYX emblem ). It is doubtful wether there was a car production after WWI. Altogether less than 600 cars were built. round ORYX brass emblem with a half laurel wreath contemporary photo showing the radiator with round emblem (photo collection Klaas Dierks ) close-up of the radiator restored ORYX emblem (collection G.B.) Size c. 10.0 x 7.0 cm Year 1909 - 1914 Estimate 1913 advertisment showing radiator with emblem 1908 advertisement for the ERYX ( ORYX ) commercial light car another rarity: original ORYX hubcap 1914 ORYX ( photo in Braunbeck Motor Magazine ) 1921 ALLGEMEINE AUTOMOBIL - ZEITUNG advertisement for ORYX and much more ORYX car owned by the famous actor Manfred Krug ( 1937 - 2016 ) Very few ORYX vehicles have survived. But there was a drawing of the ORYX emblem, which was made by the Swedish boy Gustav Moeller back in the 1920s. Gustav lived near the ferry port in Helsingborg / Sweden and drew the emblems of the waiting cars there. What a great hobby that still helps and delights us a hundred years later: Finally there was an oval emblem. But I don´t know where and when it was used. Do you have an idea ?
