Comments: The addax (Addax nasomaculatus), possibly the original dishon/pygarg.

 

Addax — A kind of Antelope with twisted horns; it very probably corresponds to the דִּישׁוֹן (dîshõn - Strongs: H1788) of the Hebrews and the pygarg of the divers translations (Deuteronomy 14:5).

Verses:

  • Deuteronomy 14:5
