Wild Sable Antelope Airlifted to Safety as Backward-Growing Horn Starts Piercing Its Own Skull

A sable antelope was rescued from a life-threatening situation after its horn nearly grew into its own skull. On Saturday, May 30, Forrest Galante, a wildlife biologist and tracker, shared a video of a wild sable being airlifted for treatment after the adult antelope was discovered with its horn growing backward into its own head. “If left untreated, it would eventually puncture the skull and kill the animal,” Galante said in a video shared on Instagram after the clip was sent to him by wildlife veterinarian Sam Wilkinson.
