Winter in Mokala: Sable Antelope Mating Ritual

Early one morning during our recent visit we found a sizable herd of Sable Antelope on the Kniekie Loop in the Mokala National Park. The dominant bull was particularly interested in one cow and we had a front-row seat as he turned on the romance.

Here’s a short video showing the Sable bull courting his mate.

We’ll soon be announcing a very exciting spring-time tour to the Mokala National Park – do keep an eye on DeWetsWild’s facebook page so that you don’t miss out!

    That was interesting but I have to admit it gives a whole new meaning to “leading him on” and to deigning disinterest. I got a good laugh out of that. He’s also obviously a lot horny/er than she. 🤣🤣🤣. Literally. It really was interesting though.

    Ek wou jou al in jou vorige plasing uitgevra het oor die “Sable Antelope” … is dit ‘n Swartwitpens? Hoe interessant is ons diere nie! Dankie vir die deel van die video.
