The gemsbok or gemsbuck(Oryx gazella) is a large African antelope, of the Oryx genus. The name is derived from the Dutch name of the male chamois, Gemsbok. Although there are some superficial similarities in appearance(especially in the colour of the face area), the chamois and the oryx are not closely related.
