The sable antelope is a large, striking herbivore native to the savannas and woodlands of southern Africa. Known for its long, curved horns, which can reach up to 3 feet in males, the sable antelope has a distinctive black coat with white markings on its face, belly, and legs. They are social animals, often found in small herds led by a dominant male. These antelopes primarily feed on grasses and leaves, using their strong, agile bodies to navigate through dense vegetation. The sable antelope is also known for its impressive speed and agility, which help it evade predators such as lions and hyenas. Their conservation status is currently classified as "Least Concern," but habitat loss poses a threat to their populations.
