I want to know the answer to the following question:
What large species of antelope once made its home in the desert areas of the Middle East?
All the background I'm provided with is that "However, the species' striking appearance made it (along with the closely related scimitar-horned oryx and addax) a popular quarry for sport hunters, especially foreign executives of oil companies working in the region.[citation needed]". Is that enough to answer the question?
