The addax lives in desert terrain where it eats grasses and leaves of what [[shrubs]], [[leguminous]] herbs and bushes are available. Primarily a [[Grazing (behaviour)|grazer]], its staple foods include ''[[Aristida]]'', ''[[Panicum]]'', and ''[[Stipagrostis]]'', and it will only consume browse, such as leaves of ''[[Acacia]]'' trees in the absence of these grasses.<ref name=hummel /> It also eats perennials which turn green and sprout at the slightest bit of humidity or rain. The addax eats only certain parts of the plant and tends to crop the ''Aristida'' grasses neatly to the same height. By contrast, when feeding on ''Panicum'' grass, the drier outer leaves are left alone while it eats the tender inner shoots and seeds. These [[seeds]] are important part of the addax's diet, being its main source of protein.<ref name="f&w"/>
