That was cool. Reminds me of when a bull elk took on some bison at the Salato Center here in KY.

It's not a sable, it's a goat.

It's not a sable, it's a goat.

Yeah, I am a stubborn person. They say it is a goat but I like to go against the stream

Interesting video.

Don't think the sable would be alive very long if he tried that with a black rhino.

 

[Sue Tidwell]

Thats CRAZY! The sable actually had 3 rhinos backing down. Thanks for sharing!

 

[Ragman]

Wow, I can believe how quick that sable is!

 

[Tally-Ho HUNTING SAFARIS]

Not really surprising
Sable bulls are very aggressive. They want everything to go their way and dont like backing down

 

[PeteG]

Thats one mighty expensive goat

I find it interesting how the Sable goes to it’s knees when engaging the rhinos?

I think they fight each other like that normally, but the PH’s/outfitters would know better.

 

[Tally-Ho HUNTING SAFARIS]

Yes they do
Go down like that to fight each other

Yea, a 500 pound goat.

F***** Awesome video. What zoo was that at. I would make a trip there to see that in person. Along the same note. I remember see a postcard in early 80's in a postcard rack (I don't think they exist anymore) in the Hwange National, that had picture of one horned Sable walking away from a dead lion. The other horn was in the chest of the lion. The lion was either a lionesse or a young male. Have any of you see this picture before or one similar?

Haven’t seen that particular picture but P H capstick wrote about a sable that killed a lion around a swimming pool.
Still are postcards but they require you to put them in an envelope before you mail them. I always send cards to My kids when I’m off hunting somewhere-they collect them, with the foreign postmarks

The there was the sable that stabbed that lioness at a water hole. It is the only animal I've had jitters about on a hunt, my PH said be prepared for a charge and I was.

Very cool, didn't realize they were that aggressive. Thanks for sharing!
