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!

I enjoyed the video, Dries. What magnificent creatures they are.
Thanks, Tracy. The Sable in my favourite antelope – the bull in his tuxedo really is so royal!
❤
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.
I am so glad all we need to do is dinner and a movie… 😀
🙂
Well, Dries…learn something new every day. 😮
I am glad we do, Lois! Although some things are better left unlearned. I hope this wasn’t one of those!
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.
Jip, Swartwitpens. My gunsteling bok.
