Staff celebrates the new addition to the Zoođ„°đ„ș
The sable-horned antelope is a wonderful and original creation of nature, but, unfortunately, this species is currently under the threat of extinction due to poaching.
One of the most notable features of these animals is their unique ring-shaped horns. To protect them from poaching, many of them are kept in special animal parks, where they have new breeding programs to increase their quantity.
Recently, the Gdansk Zoo in Poland celebrated the birth of a new antelope, a promising step for the future of this endangered species. The newborn has a reddish coat that helps him blend in with his environment and avoid predators. As they mature, white markings appear on their bodies. Sable antelopes are known to live in matriarchal herds of 15-20 antelopes, with only one male known as a bull in each group.
Not considering the dangers they face, efforts to protect and breed these animals help ensure their prosperity for future generations.
