Nature’s Corner – Sable antelopes
Sable antelope cows and juveniles (Hippotragus niger) with their chestnut brown to dark brown coats, graze at the Silolweni River, south of the Tshokwane Picnic Site in the Kruger National Park. The dominant female terrorizes the others with her long horns until some hamerkops (Scopus umbretta) startle them and they scatter.
