Having sated his thirst this Sable bull was strolling back into the bush alongside the Chobe river.
This female Sable was on her way to drink from the river but was very wary of what was in the water and around the water’s edge.
This female Sable is very wary of coming down to drink but is obviously thirsty. I was surprised to see a female on her own. Both sexes have curved horns, the female’s are just shorter and not as curved back as those of the male.
It is interesting to see that a Sable’s eyes are positioned so that is can see laterally as well as forwards. It obviously has good stereoscopic vision.
This female kept coming down to the water and backing away – very cautious. i guess every animal that comes down to drink from the Chobe River is well aware of the danger lurking under the surface of the water.
It intrigues me how Sable, and Impala for that matter, manage to keep their coats in such glossy condition.
At last this female Sable plucked up the courage and walked down to the water’s edge to drink.

This small group of young Sable do not go directly to the river to drink but to a small pool a few metres away from the rivers edge. The reason – crocs!!
Ever alert for crocodiles in the Chobe – drink but be wary.
Having slaked its thirst this young Sable to walking back into the bush.
