HUNDREDS of endangered giant sable antelope have fled Angola’s Cangandala National Park and run into a region where government and rebel forces have fought over the last week, Angolan radio has reported. The rare antelope is a symbol of Angola, used as an emblem both by the national airline and the national football team. In Angola, they live only in the Cangandala park, about 500km east of Luanda. But the giant sable – a large, black antelope with crooked antlers – have run as far as 200km from the park. The giant sable, already on the brink of extinction, could become even rarer if they leave their natural habitat and run into war zones, according to experts.
