Impala Eastern

Eastern impalas are found in the eastern part of Africa, particularly in countries like Kenya and Tanzania. They inhabit a variety of landscapes, including savannas, grasslands, and woodland areas. Eastern impalas are medium-sized antelopes, with males standing around 3.3 to 3.6 feet tall at the shoulder and weighing between 132 to 165 pounds. They have a reddish-brown coat with a lighter underbelly, and both males and females have curved, lyre-shaped horns. These antelopes are known for their incredible agility. They can jump up to 10 feet high and leap as far as 33 feet in one bound, which helps them evade predators.

Eastern impalas are herbivores, primarily feeding on grass, leaves, and sometimes fruits.

Female impalas give birth to a single fawn after a gestation period of around 6 to 7 months. The fawns are well-camouflaged and hide in tall grass to stay safe. Eastern impalas are social animals, often forming herds that help protect them from predators. They are most active during the cooler parts of the day, such as early morning and late afternoon.

Eastern impalas are not considered endangered. Their adaptable nature and ability to thrive in different habitats contribute to their stable population.
