Well there are lots where we live. We can see the neighbors Gemsbok herd from our patios.. There are very nice Sable, Kudu, Gravies Zebra, black wildebeest, eland. Nyala, blesbuck, Impala, sitatungo, Thompson's and Grant's gazelle.
From North Africa there are tons of scimitar horned oryx, Arabian oryx, of course lots of Aoudad. We personally have a small herd of Addax. We'd love to get some dama gazelles which are available but expensive and need special protection from predators. Our long term plan is build predator proof fence around a few acres surrounding our house and get a maybe 2 or 3 female and a male. The various oryx and addax as well as sable, etc. are very "predator resistant" at to the Texas predators. We do have a neighbor who lost fallow to a mountain lion (which can be shot on sight here).
There are Cape buffalo and giraffes and Roan. I would love to have Roan but they are very expensive. As are bongo and sitatunga. Wart hog and red River hog. African porcupine. There is a live white rhino nearby.
You can find lots of various sheep and goats. Markhor and various breeds and cross breeds of Ibex. Kangaroo, especially the big reds. Emu and ostrich.
There are no Bontebok and I'm told you cannot import them. Not even embryos that could be implanted into blesbok. As for laws that need changing, things like Arabian Oryx are an example, the males are not worth much because it is very difficult to get a permit to shoot one. Even if you own it. Pretty universally the females are worth more than the males. However if mature males cannot be shot, the spread is greater.. It's kind a pyramid scheme, the more rare and popular ones bringing more money until they are bred up and supply is greater.
They are breeding white bison by crossing with Charolais cattle. Lots of regular bison.
Egyptian geese are now the 6th most populous wild goose in Texas. We have 5 living here. A neighbor has swans and various ducks.
About every deer species is available including lots of red deer and axis deer which along with blackbuck and Aoudad are feral and can be hunted quite easily if you have access to land. If it is unfenced around here and has food, shelter and water... those species as well as hogs and whitetail are very likely there.
Most of these critters have originated from surplus stock in zoos. Too many seem to suffer from a lot of inbreeding so could definitely use a supply of new genetics.
Big business trading wildlife in Texas. They are sold as great investment opportunity. There are tax advantages but nothing different from cattle or any other livestock except that you can drop a lot of money into very few head with certain wildlife. And probably lose money faster than with domestic livestock... so great tax write offs
