Yes, the Scimitar-horned Oryx, which is native to the North African deserts, has natural predators, primarily including large carnivores such as lions and hyenas. However, their populations have significantly declined due to habitat loss and hunting, which has reduced predator interactions. In their current habitat, they are more vulnerable to threats from humans than to natural predators. Conservation efforts are underway to reintroduce and protect the species in their native range.
East African Oryx are an abundant animal with large horns that resemble those from a unicorn. Predators of these animals include African wild dogs, hyenas, and lions.
Arabian Oryx prefer to range in gravel desert or hard sand where the speed and endurance will protect them from most predators, as well as most hunters on foot. In the sand deserts in Saudi Arabia, the Arabian Oryx used to be found in the hard sand areas of the flats between the softer dunes and ridges.

The Arabian oryx primarily faces predation from large carnivores such as lions and hyenas, although these threats are less common due to the oryx's declining habitat and population. Young or weak individuals may also fall prey to smaller predators like jackals and leopards. However, human activities, such as hunting and habitat destruction, pose a more significant threat to their survival than natural predators. Conservation efforts have focused on protecting these animals and their habitats to ensure their continued existence.
