Editing Sable antelope (section)

=== Reproduction ===
The giant sable antelope's breeding season is seasonal and births coincide with the rainy season. After a gestation period of around 9 months, the female gives birth to a single young. A newborn calf is born with a sandy coloured coat, which helps it to camouflage. The calf will lie hidden away for at least 10 days while being nursed by its mother.

Young sable antelope are weaned at around 8 months and will become sexually mature at between 2 and 3 years. As the calf develops, its coat will darken and it will achieve its status within the herd. The life span of a giant sable antelope is around 17 years.<ref name="Sable Antelope, Nairobi">{{Cite web|title=Sable Antelope, "Nairobi" -|url=https://outofafricapark.com/meet-the-animals/sable-antelope-zambezi/|access-date=2021-01-21|language=en-US}}</ref>
