🐃Impala
Impala eli pala-antilooppi (Aepyceros melampus) on Afrikan yleisimpiä antilooppilajeja. Se elää yleisenä monin paikoin itäisessä ja eteläisessä Afrikassa. Lajin elinympäristöä ovat erilaiset reunaympäristöt, avoimet metsämaat, puu- ja pensassavannit. Se on antiloopiksi keskikokoinen ja painaa 40–76 kiloa. Väritys on selästä pähkinänruskea, kyljistä vaaleampi. Vatsa on valkoinen. Impalalaumoissa on 15–120 yksilöä ja laumojen rakenne vaihtelee vuodenaikojen ja lisääntymisajan mukaan. Ravinto koostuu sadekaudella lähinnä heinästä, kuivana kautena enimmäkseen puiden ja pensaiden lehdistä. Impala juo mieluiten päivittäin ja pysyttelee lähellä juomapaikkoja. Naaras synnyttää 194–200 päivän kantoajan jälkeen yleensä vain yhden vasan, jota se imettää 4–7 kuukautta.
