The addax is an endangered species of antelope. There are less than 1,000 addax left in the wild. The addax are desert creatures that travel at night in search of vegetation. They don't need very much water, the only water they get is a few drops from plants. Its average length is 5 ft. long, and its average shoulder height is about 3 ft. high. There are more than 1,000 addax in captivity, and about 600 addax have been born in captive breeding programs. Doesn't that surprise you though? The fact that there are more addax antelope in captivity than there are in the wild! Well, I should probably let you get back to whatever you were doing. I'll see you next time.
