    Hello, I was hoping if any of you could list the antelope species Japan currently has. As far as I know, there are Eland, Sitatunga, Eastern White-bearded Wildebeest, Blackbuck, Scimitar Oryx, and Roan Antelope. Are there any more species and if so, where do they reside at the moment? I would like to go to those places and see them as I know that antelopes aren't common in Japan.

    If I recall correctly Kanazawa and Fukuoka still have Arabian Oryx. Otherwise I think you have all the species listed. Otherwise @Veno might know a few extra species.

    Don't forget Addax and Arabian Oryx.
    Addax is at Iwate Safari Park and Himeji Central Park.
    Arabian Oryx is at Kanazawa Zoo and Fukuoka City Zoo.
