MELBOURNE, Fla. (AP) — Zoo-goers in central Florida can get a look at a rare baby antelope. Florida Today (http://on.flatoday.com/2lVut1u) reports the baby scimitar-horned oryx and its mom can be seen in their exhibit by visitors who take kayak tours or the Cairo Express train rides at the Brevard Zoo in Melbourne. FindTheData | Graphiq Zoo officials say the mom of the 22-pound calf was born at the zoo seven years ago. In a statement, zoo officials say scimitar-horned oryxs, named for their sword-like antlers, used to be prevalent from northern Africa to Sudan until they went extinct in the wild in 1999.
