Oryx

Oryx

The Arabs have admired the Oryx for its whiteness and have called it Wahedi Arabi as an indication of its clear, vivid color. It was also called Wild Cow and it was described as a twinkling star glittering in the sky. So it became a symbol of beauty, resistance and untamed wilderness for centuries.

The Oryx is a symbol of power, dignity and pride because it never ran from a prospective battle but would consistently follow its attacker until it either won or lost the bout.
