Antelopes in Paris Zoo

I visited the Vincennes zoo in Paris some years ago and took a photo of some antelopes that should be sable antelopes, but the horns are nowhere near as curved as those shown in illustrations. I obviously forgot to read the signs around the enclosure. I e-mailed the zoo, but they did not respond. Does any Answerbanker know what they were?

Sorry, In a Pickle, the horns were curved, quite a lot, in fact. But the pictures I have seen of sable antelope in books show the horns to be almost semi-circular. The markings of the face were also similar to those of sable antelope.

By George! I think you've got it! (Or at least maybe - this is the best idea so far.)
