Help Fossil Rim Re-train the Sable Antelope
Please Do Not Give Them Feed

Sable Antelope Sable antelope are very handsome, and we want you to enjoy them - from a distance. They can be aggressive over food, so we are asking all our guests not to feed them from your car. Don't worry - all the animals here are fed properly and regularly by our experienced Animal Care Staff, and they get plenty to eat.

Thank you for your cooperation and enjoy the drive!
