There are four breeds of oryx: gemsbock, scimitar, Arabian, and east African. The Arabian is reported to be extinct in the wild found today on exotic game ranches and zoos.

And if you really want to get technical....there are actually five breeds. East African Oryx can be broken down into Beisa Oryx and Fringe-Eared Oryx.

And I saw Arabian oryx in the wild when I visited Dubai.
