Impala are graceful, medium-sized antelopes found in the grasslands and savannas of Africa. They are known for their incredible speed and agility, capable of running up to 55 miles per hour. With their slender bodies and long legs, impalas can leap impressive distances, making them adept at escaping predators like lions and cheetahs. These animals are social creatures, often seen in herds that can range from a few individuals to several hundred. Impalas communicate through a variety of sounds and body language, helping them stay alert to danger. Their striking reddish-brown coats and white underbellies make them a beautiful sight in the wild.
