How did the Oryx come to New Mexico?
This African antelope was introduced to the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. The oryx was brought from the Kalahari Desert in Africa to an experimental range at Red Rock New Mexico. Federal law prohibits introducing a wild animal from another country into the wild in this country so offspring were obtained at this experimental range to introduce onto the White Sands Missile Range. Between 1969 and 1977, 93 oryx were released on White Sands Missile Range. There are now about 3000 animals in residence. Annual hunts for the oryx began in 1974 on the Missile Range. Oryx can weigh up to 450 pounds. They stand 47 inches at the shoulder. Both males and females have horns that average 34 inches long. Their brown coloring with distinctive black and white markings allows them to hide among desert shrubs.

Why did the Columbia landed on the white sands?
The Columbia didn't land "on the white sands", it landed at White Sands Missile Range. In 1982, STS-3 was planned as a 7 day flight. However, it was extended an extra day because of high winds at the backup landing site, Northrop Strip, at White Sands Missile Range near Las Cruces, New Mexico, since the planned landing site at Edwards AFB had flooded due to excessive rain. The orbiters were not yet landing at the Cape. A large-scale equipment movement from Edwards AFB to White Sands was undertaken during the mission to ensure that a landing could be fully supported.
