Brad photographed this group of Sable Antelope, Hippotragus niger, while we were driving through Bagani Mahangu Game Reserve in Namibia the afternoon of August 19, 2012. The Sable Antelope mainly inhabits the Miombo Woodland Zone (wooded savannah) of southern Africa and east Africa south of Kenya. A vertical mane runs from between the ears to just beyond the shoulders. The males "long" ringed horns arch gracefully backwards and stand out against the animal's rich dark glossy brownish-black to black coloration. Females are chestnut to dark brown in color and have shorter horns. Underbellies of both are white as are the cheeks and chins. (Similar in appearance to Roan Antelope but males are black not brown.) Temperatures were in the 90's on this clear day.
