Description
Pictured is a black male sable antelope ready to drink from the Chobe River in Chobe National Park in Botswana, Africa. They form herds of 10 to 30 females and calves led by a single male, called a bull. When sable antelopes are threatened by predators, including lions, they confront their attackers and fight-back aggressively. Using their scimitar-shaped horns that can reach to its vulnerable rump area , they can impale their enemy. The binomial name is Hippotragus niger. The antelope was photographed from the Chobe River on a safari boat from the historic Chobe Game Lodge.
