The rare Arabian Oryx is believed to have inspired the myth of the unicorn. This desert antelope became virtually extinct in the early 1960's. At that time several groups of international conservationists arranged to have 9 animals sent to the Phoenix Zoo to be the nucleas of a captime breeding heard. Today the Oryx population is over 1,000 and over 500 have been returned to the Middle East.
