impalas
African grassland grazers
Impalas are medium-sized African antelopes known for their graceful build and spectacular leaping ability—they can bound over obstacles up to ten feet high.
The reddish-brown animals with distinctive lyre-shaped horns (on males) travel in herds across savannas and woodlands.
We watched impalas scatter as a lion approached.
