Bottom to top 38" 40" 42" and 60"





That 60, really it's 60 3/4 one side and 60 7/8 the other side but is Amazing.

I hope that 60+" is going on a full body mount.

If that is indeed a 60" Sable at top... Story? Details? That would be a legendary beast. You cant post a Unicorn without explanation

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."

60" puts him well into Giant Sable territory and positively huge for a Hippotragus Niger.
I also am interested in where this sable was taken.
I dropped a 45" sable off for restoration yesterday which is big, but I can't imagine a 60 incher!

That's a definite "Holy Shithooks" sable. 60"??? Shithooks indeed!
