Wild Nature
The Sable the rarest antelope
S1 • E37 Dec 1, 2008
The Sable Antelope is considered one of the most striking antelopes in the animal kingdom. But its horns are both a blessing and a curse. The males use their mighty horns to defend their territories in epic battles but unfortunately their horns are also prized trophies for hunters. Sable are selective grazers and never venture far from water- a loss in habitat in recent years has seen a dramatic decline in Sable populations. Singita is lucky to be home to the largest number of Sable antelope in the Kruger region.
