I love this shot--it looks like the wind is so strong that it's blowing this gemsbok's horns sideways. It's not uncommon to see a gemsbok without perfectly straight horns (particularly on game farms), but this one's horn deformity was fairly strong. Location approximate to northern CKGR.
"Kgalagadi Transfrontier used to be called the Gemsbok Nasionale Park in Afrikaans, referrng to the gemsbokke Afrikaans for Oryx that are the icon specie of the park. There are a few with "" bend"" broken horns, reason being either fights when they were young or some other mishap. These pictures were taken a few kilometer from the Mata Mata restcamp in the north of the park on the border with Namibia."
