Mounted Sable Antelope: An Icon of African Wilderness

The sable antelope, scientifically known as Hippotragus niger, is one of the most majestic and recognizable inhabitants of the African savannas. With its impressive horns, present in both males and females and forming a graceful arch, this animal exudes a certain dignity and strength. These magnificent ungulates are found in the wooded savannas and lightly forested areas of eastern and South Africa, where they graze on grass and leaves.

What immediately stands out about the sable antelope, besides its impressive horns, is its robust build, deep chest and athletic stature. The males, which are darker in color than the females, can take on an almost black hue with age, giving them an imposing appearance, especially in the golden light of the African sun.

A fascinating fact about the sable antelope is the length of their horns. In adult males, these horns can reach a length of up to 165 centimeters! They not only serve as a defense mechanism against predators, but are also essential in mutual fights between males over territory or mates.
