Description
So, yes….this guy has been in my brain since the creation of Nuk the Gerenuk back in September.
Basically the 2nd vision of an Antelope character that I had in mind.
Being that Obi the Elephant embodies my over-all friendliness and reassurance,
and Nuk embodies my own shyness and worries,
I wanted to create a character that embodies my anger, frustration, but also forgiveness.
And what animal is better to embody those feelings than a Giant Sable Antelope?……..One of the most aggressive and territorial Antelope species in the Savannah.
I would imagine that Sabe would be one of those individuals who would get mad very easily.
Like, he is still friendly to his close friends, but can’t really control his own anger when he does get frustrated.
Most of the time he ends up scaring his friends and would eventually have to be told (probably by Obi) to settle down.
Surprisingly, even with all this anger he is still very forgiving in the end. He would then feel terrible for not minding his own temper.
He’s also very protective of his close friends.
If you would like to know more about Giant Sable Antelopes, I put some facts down over here.
The Giant Sable Antelope gathers in herds of 100 or more during the dry season, when browsing replaces the usual grazing.
In the wet season, herds split into bachelor groups of 2 - 12 males, while dominant males occupy large territories and mate with females there.
Mature males are a very dark brown to black, but with the same facial patterns as females: White with a central dark blaze and cheek stripes. Both genders have stout, very heavily ringed, backwards curving horns that can grow to be nearly 5 feet long!
(Well, that is if they were straightened out, rather than curved.)
Being one of the most aggressive and territorial Antelope species in Africa, males will protect their hordes of females at any given cost, by charging at any other animal that poses as a threat or even another challenging male.
By Sable standards, the one with the largest herd of females = the most dominant.

I referenced him straight from a picture of a Giant Sable Antelope.
Ibexes don’t have that coloration.
