This ram impala is very protective of its fawn and looks prepared to take flight, which they do by leaping erratically at distances up to 30 feet and up to 9 feet in the air. His right horn, which can grow to three feet, is broken, perhaps in a fight during the rut. Wild female and fawn impalas in east-central Africa live in large herds up to 200 while young bachelor herds average about 30. These two impalas are part of the herd at Safari West in Santa Rosa, California.
