Oryx gazella
Complete skeleton of an antelope. Brittle, dried out with all parts present - as far as we could tell. The horns where approximately 45 cm - really big as far as I remember.
Found in a dry ravine in the arid semi desert of the Tankwa Karoo National Park.
Thrilling find!

It was very strange. And what more was that most of the bones where still inside the fur!
If all of the bones were present, I wonder if it was just an old male that died of old age instead of falling prey...
