The addax, also known as the white antelope or screwhorn antelope, is a herbivorous consumer. It primarily feeds on grasses and leaves, making it a primary consumer in its ecosystem. As a ruminant, it has a specialized digestive system that allows it to efficiently extract nutrients from its plant-based diet. The addax plays a crucial role in its desert habitat by influencing the plant community and serving as prey for larger predators.
