The addax, also known as the white antelope or screwhorn antelope, is a critically endangered species native to the Sahara Desert. It is well-adapted to arid environments, with a light-colored coat that reflects sunlight and long, twisted horns that can reach up to 1 meter in length. Addaxes primarily feed on grasses and shrubs, and they can survive long periods without water by obtaining moisture from their food. Addaxes are social animals, often found in small herds, and they are known for their ability to travel long distances in search of food. Due to habitat loss and hunting, their population has drastically declined, making conservation efforts essential for their survival. Organizations like the World Wildlife Fund are actively working to protect this unique species and its habitat.
