Conservation: how people help animals come back, sentence 13

The Arabian oryx was hunted to extinction in the wild by 1972, but zoo-bred animals were released in Oman from 1982, and it moved from endangered to vulnerable in 2011; seen from the side its two long straight horns can look like one, and some think the unicorn legend came from it.

Who acts: oryx, two long straight horns, some, unicorn legend · What happens: hunt, breed, release, move, see, look · To what, where: Arabian oryx, wild, bred animals, Oman, endangered, side · Speech: someone speaks here
