Gemsbok Habitat

Gemsboks are desert dwelling animals that prefer deserts, scrubland and brushland. Southern gemsbok tend to inhabit open, arid areas, such as the Kalahari duneland and bush savanna while northern gemsbok inhabit open grasslands.

How do Gemsbok survive in the desert?

They will dig up succulent roots, bulbs and tubers and eat wild melons for their water content. Because these plants in their habitat have adapted ways to store water it allows the Gemsbok to get the water they need from what they eat allowing them to survive for days or even weeks without drinking water.
