One thing I'd like to mention about Impalas is their interesting social behavior: One male leads a pack of about 50 females, while the other males stay to themselves. Since the leader also has to take care of reproduction, it can only hold out for a limited time of a couple of months, then another one takes its place. The Impala are very common. They look similar to Grant's Gazelles of which I do not have a picture here. Impala can run very fast, they also can jump up to 3 meters hi ...

THE PRONG-HORNED ANTELOPE. (Antilocapra Americana.) The antelope family comprises many of the most beautiful and graceful species among horned animals.
