I-oryx, eyaziwa nangokuthi i-gemsbok, iyakwazi ukubhekana nokushisa kwama-desert okushisa nokuntuleka kwamanzi ngokusebenzisa ukushisa okubucayi ebuchosheni bayo ukunciphisa amanzi adingekayo nokugcina ubuchopho bupholile. I-oryx ikhiqize i-adaptation eyaziwa ngokuthi i-carotid rete, okuyi-network of capillaries engxenyeni yobuchopho.
I-Warmblood eya ebuchosheni nge-artery carotid kuqala idlula uchungechunge lwe-capillaries kwinethiwekhi yesinus, lapho ikhiphe khona ukudluliswa kwesibindi kusuka egazini elipholile eliyingozi elishiya ubuchopho. Enye indlela yokushisa i-oryx okuqashwe ngayo i-oryx ukugxilisa umchamo bese ubamba umswakama ngangokunokwenzeka kusuka emgodini wayo, okhiqiza amapelisi aqinile kakhulu.

Nokho, uma amanzi etholakala bayothatha isiphuzo. I-oryx ivame ukuhlangana emhlambini yezinkomo ezihlanganisa izinsikazi kanye nezinkunzi ezingenasifunda njengoba zihamba lapho zifuna ukudla.
Hamba izinkunzi, uqaphe futhi ubambe insimu yazo ukuze uhambisane nezinkomo zezinsikazi ezidlula. Izinkunzi ezingenasimila, ezidlula ensimini yomunye, zizithoba ngaphansi kwenkunzi enamandla ukugwema ukuhlukunyezwa kwayo.
