New pictures released by Saudi Arabia’s King Salman Royal Reserve have documented the birth of the first Arabian oryx to be born in the kingdom in 90 years.
The calf was born at the reserve which is located in the Northern Borders province and is the largest natural reserve in the Middle East, covering 130,700sqkm.
The historic moment was shared by authorities on Twitter.
The Arabian oryx is one of Saudi Arabia’s endangered species currently benefiting from preservation efforts. In 1972, the species was declared extinct in the wild.
