The addax is from 95 to 115 cm high at the shoulder. The addax is a yellowish-white in color, with a brown mane and a black patch at the forehead. Both males and females have graceful, ringed horns, wound in an open spiral as long as 89 cm. The are well adapted to the desert. The addax has large hooves for running over sand easily.
