Here's why:
* National Animal: The Arabian Oryx is the national animal of the United Arab Emirates, of which Dubai is a part.
* Conservation Success Story: The Arabian Oryx was once critically endangered, but thanks to conservation efforts, its population has rebounded significantly. Dubai has played a crucial role in this success.
* Iconic Symbol: The Arabian Oryx is often featured in Dubai's branding and imagery, representing the country's rich cultural heritage and its commitment to wildlife conservation.
While other animals like the Falcons and Camels are also significant in Dubai's culture and history, the Arabian Oryx holds a special place due to its national symbolism and conservation story.
