I'd always thought Oryx horns seemed inefficient. To charge an enemy they'd have to bend their head so far into their chest they wouldn't be able to see. This video showed me how useful the curve is as lions almost always attack the rear 2:30 they can whip their head back and the horns are well lined up to impale the lion. Amazing. Thanks for posting.

@johnkinsella5358 3 года назад

Antelope horns are primarily for display and fighting each other rather than defense, and are often not used, running away is the main defense and have-a-go heroism is bred out of them as the heroes tend to get eaten.

@esimahlenimkhize3700 2 года назад

The best horns

@rrshankar2000 2 года назад

Very true, even I always thought they won't be effective but now realize that lions tend to attack more from behind and this is a very effective deterrent. I love how the lioness takes it easy and just rolls on the ground as if she is bored. The Oryx is also very cool and held its ground and is not panicking. Very fine animals.

@reckz420 6 лет назад

@noneofyourbeeswax01 5 лет назад

They're pretty effective going forward too - the only downside being that the Oryx has to attack blind, as it has to face it's head down looking back in order for its horns to point straight forward. But unlike deer, most antelope and oxes (bison, buffalo etc) use their horns in that way - they just don't have the rear coverage that Onyx do. I suspect they have evolved these more effecient horns because they tend to be more solitary than most antelope so they have to be more self-reliant when it comes to defending themselves.

@georgehunter2813 5 лет назад

Our early ancestors developed similar strategies of mobile defense. No doubt the earlist defensive spears were recovered Oryx horns from Oryx carcasses. A spear not for throwing, but for standing ground against toothy carnivores. Confoundingly smart we were. We easily rebuffed predatory investigations when moving in numbers. We were deliberate and methodical. Confident and in no rush just like the Oryx and honey badgers.

We human should learn a lesson from animals. The goat's attitude is wrong: as long as you don't kill me, I will let you stay around. No, he will kill you sooner or later. The only way to survive is to kill back. They don't think that way, that's why they are prey.

@Rocko76 6 лет назад

It seems that Oryxes are the only herbivores that are really aware of the dangerousness of their horns. They use them everytime they are attacked or to defend their calves. Male Impalas or male Kudus could easily injure cheetahs or leopards with their horns, but I’ve never seen them doing it.

@LudicrousCunningFox 6 лет назад

R C I see sable antelope do this too.

@Rocko76 6 лет назад

LudicrousCunningFox Yes you’re right

@noneofyourbeeswax01 5 лет назад

Shorter horned antelope can be grabbed by the neck by lions despite their defences, but the long horns of Oryx means that they just can't get close enough to lay claws on it anywhere. And if a lion is really worried it can always work around to the rear of an antelope, but the Oryx has that covered.

@noneofyourbeeswax01 5 лет назад

Sable also have rather longer horns than most antelope species, growing up to 65 inches long in males.

@what2730 4 года назад

Cape buffalo do too

@MuccaCorse 2 года назад

It is impressive how the horns of the oryx are the perfect size to hit the snout of the predator attacking from behind. If they were just a little bit longer or a little shorter than a few inches they wouldn't be as efficient.

Sad to find out both lions and certain oryx species have been reduced to several tens of thousands to only several thousands in the wild.

@skullsaintdead 5 лет назад

Wait, lions are only at several thousand in the wild? Just looked it up, they've been reduced massively from 200,000 to 20,000, but not below 10,000. Oryx are at 373,000 in the wild, but you're right, tragically many species are whats known as 'extinct in the wild', like the Scimitar oryx and Arabian oryx. The latter went extinct in the wild in the 70s, but now has 1000 individuals living freely (with 6000 - 7000 in captivity!). Poaching for their horns is their greatest threat... So despicable what we do to this world and the animals that inhabit it.

Enlightened Doggo how is it fake u can see a bird in the shot they have some very powerful mics for this stuff

@ioi1989 6 лет назад

Jason Rodriguez you can do a quick google search to see how in nature documentaries, the audio is added after filming. Yes they use pretty sophisticated equipment to film animals from far away and zoom in on them without losing quality but their sounds on the other hand can be easily lost to all of the static noise around. For example when you watch a documentary where they're filming a bunch of lions hunting buffaloes, and they're filming that chase from a helicopter, when you hear the sound of the buffalo's hooves, that noise is added in because it's obvious that the sound made by the helicopter's blades will trump over the sounds made by those animals, so what enlightened doggo said is true in this particular vid & in many more videos.

It's just not worth the risk for the lions. It's safer for them to go for an easier target.

For those lions to have gotten him they would've needed to get a quick neck grip on him, to subdue it and kill it as fast as possible

@blakea.wittenberg5685 5 лет назад

Lions always are apprehensive to kill a dangerous animal - that said, even these youngsters could easily take one down, just takes some nerve to outmaneuver it and then overpower it. It isn't a prey animal which is that hard to bring down, even with those horns.
