This is Fossil Rim's herd of critically endangered addax antelope for #NationalWildlifeDay! Here in our large open pasture setting these herds have the opportunity to use this space, and that is the point. This allows them to move together in search of food, water, shelter, and even the best spot to give birth. #endangeredspecies #wildlifeconservation #safaripark #fossilrim | Fossil Rim Wildlife Center
