Abstract

We documented a 23 kg bezoar that filled >60% of the rumen of an adult oryx (Oryx gazella gazella) harvested in New Mexico, US. The nidus of the bezoar was comprised of nylon cords and parachute cloth, constituents of parachutes. Although slightly thin, the oryx was otherwise healthy at harvest.
