A large West African antelope with long, spiraled horns, related to the oryx, native to dry savanna regions.
From a West African language, possibly Fulani or related Saharan languages. The term reflects indigenous African nomenclature for regional wildlife adapted to arid environments.
The goracco's incredible spiral horns are perfectly adapted for desert survival—their shape directs cooling air currents and the structure stores minerals, showing how evolution literally shapes animals into their environment!
