This is the most common antelope of the bushveld regions of South Africa. The Impala is preyed upon by most of the large carnivores, and should one of them spot danger, it will snort an alarm and the whole herd will scatter. It is one of the treats offered by nature to see this antelope perform their incredible 3 metre high and 12 metre long leaps.

When there is nothing else to photograph there is always an Impala to oblige.
The impala is known for two characteristic leaps that constitute an anti-predator strategy. Browsers as well as grazers, impala feed on monocots, dicots, forbs, fruits and acacia pods when available.

I walked to the watering hole before dawn and got comfy under a bush and waited to see what arrived. These shy Impala had no idea I was there! They were having such fun chasing each other around. I was hoping for the Giraffes to come down. I found them a sleep about an hour later.

Thank you for your views and comments. They are all greatly appreciated.
The impala is one of the most common and graceful of all Africa’s antelopes. The name ‘Impala’ come from the Zulu language meaning ‘gazelle’. Most young impala are born around mid-day as this is the safest time to give birth since most of their enemies are resting. Half of newborn are killed by predators within the first few weeks of life. Impalas decrease their chances of attack when living in herds, they leap and scatter in all directions when being attacked to confuse the predator.
This impala has wandered away from his herd. These lovely animals are at the bottom of the food chain for the carnivores so he has to be careful or he will be dinner. Tarangire National park, Tanzania.

I take pictures because I like it, not because I am good at it.

Found in Eastern and Southern Africa. Three distinct social groups can be observed: the territorial males, bachelor herds and female herds. The impala is known for two characteristic leaps that constitute an anti-predator strategy. [credit Wikipedia]
Impala are always on the look out. Predators try to separate one from the group them move in for the kill and a tasty lunch. This was taken in Serengeti.
I thought this might be a good choice since it's wildcard weekend in the NFL.

The impala (/ɪmˈpɑːlə, -ˈpælə/, Aepyceros melampus) is a medium-sized antelope found in eastern and southern Africa.
The Photo was taken in the Kruger National Park, South Africa
Active mainly during the day, the impala may be gregarious or territorial depending upon the climate and geography. Three distinct social groups can be observed: the territorial males, bachelor herds and female herds. The impala is known for two characteristic leaps that constitute an anti-predator strategy. Browsers as well as grazers, impala feed on monocots, dicots, forbs, fruits and acacia pods (whenever available). An annual, three-week-long rut takes place toward the end of the wet season, typically in May. Rutting males fight over dominance, and the victorious male courts female in oestrus. Gestation lasts six to seven months, following which a single calf is born and immediately concealed in cover. Calves are suckled for four to six months; young males—forced out of the all-female groups—join bachelor herds, while females may stay back. (Wikipedia)
