About the Sable Antelope
A mature sable bull is glossy black with a white belly, a bold white face mask, and long ridged horns that sweep back in a curve. It has a standing mane and an upright posture, and it looks as good in person as it does on a wall.
Sable are known for fighting back: wounded or cornered bulls have killed lions with those horns.
