The impala is a gregarious antelope species encountered in large numbers in Southern Africa. Impalas have developed a number of adaptations that allow them to thrive. Grooming and tick removal are high on the list of survival skills. An herbivorous species, the impala has adapted to graze and browse, thereby maximising the availability of food. Male impalas are known for their elegant, spiral horns, which they use to challenge each other in tests of strength at mating time.
The impala can make guttural grunts which are audible for a great distance.
Impalas are very fast runners, and able to leap distances of up to 10 meters.
Female Impala can delay birth for a month if the weather conditions are not favourable.
