Sable Antelope Hippotragus niger

They live in savanna woodlands and grasslands in southern and east Africa, where they eat mid-length grasses and leaves. They visit salt licks and have been known to chew bones to collect minerals. Males fight among themselves; they drop to their knees and use their horns.
