Editing Addax (section)

==Habitat and distribution==
The addax inhabits [[arid]] regions, [[semideserts]] and sandy and stony [[deserts]].<ref name=arkive/> They can live in extremely arid areas, with less than 100&nbsp;mm annual rainfall.<ref name=iucn/> It also inhabits deserts with tussock grasses (''Stipagrostis'' species) and succulent thorn scrub ''[[Cornulaca monacantha|Cornulaca]]''.<ref name=scf/> Formerly, the addax was widespread in the Sahelo-Saharan region of Africa, west of the Nile Valley and all countries sharing the Sahara Desert; but today the only known self-sustaining population is present in the [[Termit Massif Reserve]] (Niger). However, there are reports of sightings from the eastern [[Air Mountains]] (Niger) and [[Bodélé Depression|Bodélé]] (Chad). Rare nomads may be seen in northern Niger, southern Algeria and Libya; and the addax is rumoured to be present along the Mali/Mauritania border, though there have been no confirmed sightings.<ref name=iucn/> The addax was once abundant in [[North Africa]], native to [[Chad]], [[Mauritania]] and [[Niger]]. It is extinct in [[Algeria]], Egypt, [[Libya]], [[Sudan]] and the [[Western Sahara]]. It has been reintroduced into [[Morocco]] and Tunisia.<ref name=iucn/>
