    Help me identify an animal...or even spell it.

    I was just watching part of that 'Planet Earth' series on Discovery.

    They had a segment that was primarily desert life, and there was a bit about ibexes(sp?), then this colored lizard called a flat lizard (body shape), then there was a bit about an animal called an oreck.

    If it helps it **might** have been native to North Africa - I could be wrong though.

    I can't spell it right, because all I come up with are hits for some guy, a Jap baseball team, and then the vacuum of the same name.

    It's a mammal, sort of like a white-tail deer if you had to give it a common identifying likeness, probably goes 150#'s-ish, had a black-n-white striped face/neck, fawn colored torso & I think a white tail. It had 2 straight spikes for horns - they looked to be 2.5x as long as the skull height, and sheer on the sides.

    Can anyone figure out what I'm doing wrong on the spelling so I can read about it?

    I tried orex, orix, orec - I'm just getting nothing.

    Anybody here know their wildlife, or know how to search better than I can?

    It's not how you handle the good times, but the faith you keep in the bad that defines you.

      All I got for that was a bunch of Pokeman stuff. That doesn't seem to be it.

          I dunno how you did that, but thank you. Damn Sigorney Weaver & her sort of 1/2-British sounding voice.

          I owe you a million Frosties!

          THank you!

            Sad part is if you don't know how to spell it, it probably is a Pokemon.
