Two impala are seen resting and grazing in a dry savanna environment. The male impala has long, curved horns and a tan coat with a pale belly. One impala is alert and lying on the ground, while the other is feeding with its head down, enjoying the available vegetation.
Impala are known for their diet of grass, leaves, and shoots, adapting their food choices with the seasons. They live in herds and rely on their keen hearing and ability to leap to escape potential predators. These behaviors are crucial for their survival in the African savanna.
