The grey-brown coat is separated from the white undersides by a thin black flank stripe. There are black bands above the knees of the front legs. The conspicuous black facial markings include a thick stripe running from the base of the horns, through the eye, to the lower cheek, a bell-shaped nose patch which does not usually touch the cheek stripes, and a patch on the forehead. There is a thin black dorsal stripe which runs into the black, tufted tail. The ears are long and narrow, and, in the browner fringe-eared oryx (O. b. callotis), have a tuft of black hairs at the tips. The horns are long, narrow, and virtually parallel, ridged on the lower half. Found in both sexes, they grow 75-120 cm / 2.5-4 feet long.
