Impala are slender antelope of 45 to 60 kg that live in open woodland and at the edge of woodland and savanna, from Kenya and Uganda down to north-eastern South Africa and Angola, never far from water. They are active by day, busiest just after dawn and before dusk, and resting through the midday heat. Females gather in herds of 6 to 100, males hold territories or roam in bachelor herds. People still hunt them for their meat and as trophies.
