Impala |
|
This, more than any other, is the buck of thick bush and mopani forest country. In undisturbed areas it assembles in herds of hundred or more, but in other places small troops of a dozen or so are more usual. The impala is about three feet high at the shoulder and of slender build, with a graceful upward sweep of the neck. The doe is hornless, but the buck has delicate horns, long for the size of the animal, ranging backwards, outwards and upwards in a lyre-shaped curve, with transverse ridges for most of the length. The skin colour is chestnut-red, lighter on the flanks, with a well-marked line between this and the pure white under parts. There is a black vertical stripe on each buttock and a black stripe on the back which is carried down onto the tail. |
