Habitat
Usually O. leucoryx are found in arid plains and deserts, however they have also been found to inhabit rocky hillsides and thick brush. Their habitat according to Nowak (1999) consists of "flat and undulating gravel plains intersected by shallow wadis and depressions and the dunes edging sand deserts with a diverse vegetation of trees, shrubs, and grasses."
