Black-faced Impala Bucks Displaying

Two Black-faced Impala bucks face off in eastern Etosha National Park in Namibia.

 

The Black-Faced Impala is a sub-species of the Common Impala. It can be recognised by its larger size and black face markings. Between 1968-1971 310 individuals were transferred to Etosha National Park for protection. The population has increased but still numbers less than 1000.

 

Following a report published in 2008 the Black-Faced Impala was listed as Vunerable in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Version 2015.
