Animal Description

About the African Impala (Aepyceros melampus)

The impala is a medium-sized antelope species found throughout the southeastern parts of Africa, most commonly found in savannahs and “the bush.” Both male and female impala have a distinct glossy coat, reddish-brown in color, with a white underbelly and a distinct “M” shaped marking on their rear. The male impala grows stunning black ‘ringed’ horns, which curve back over the head and grow up to 30+ inches in length. Male impalas use these horns to show off and battle over mates in the breeding season.
