5. Exceptional Speed and Agility: Gemsbok are agile runners and can reach speeds of up to 35 miles per hour when fleeing from predators. Their speed and endurance make them difficult prey for even predators like lions and cheetahs.

7. Mating Season: Gemsbok usually mate 9-12 months out of the year, with water availability being the only limiting factor.
