The reflection of an Impala ram is caught as he silently tiptoes along the edge of a waterhole in Luthuli game reserve, South Africa. / Sometimes, when trying to spot game it seems so elusive that all that can be seen or heard are whispers in the bush, footprints and the fleeting glimpse of a reflection.

The beautiful Black Faced Impala is generally limited to Northern Namibia. While easy to observe in Etosha National Park, it is considered threatened because of its relatively small numbers and limited distribution. There is also thought to be the risk of interbreeding with the common impala which has been imported into game farms throughout Namibia.

An Impala which was roaming in our back yard at Hela Hela …. what a privilege to watch animals roaming free!!! I am truly blessed : ) Average mass for an Impala is approximately 75 kilograms. They are reddish-brown in color (hence the Afrikaans name of “Rooibok”), have lighter flanks and white underbellies with a characteristic “M” marking on its rear. Males have lyre-shaped horns which can reach up to 90 centimeters in length CanonPowershot S1 IS As Is Featured In: / You’re Accepted (February 09) / Amateur Art Phtography (February 2009) / FAUNA, FLORA, LANDSCAPES AND ARCHITECTURE OF SOUTH AFRICA (19.04.09) / ROAD PHOTOGRAPHY – your dashboard point of view!

The Cheetah The fastest land animal in the world, the cheetah is a marvel of evolution. The cheetah’s slender, long-legged body is built for speed. Cheetahs are tan in color with black spots all over their bodies. They can also be distinguished from other big cats by their smaller size, spotted coats, small heads and ears and distinctive “tear stripes” that stretch from the corner of the eye to the side of the nose. Found mostly in open and partially open savannah, cheetahs rely on tall grasses for camouflage when hunting. They are diurnal (more active in the day) animals and hunt mostly during the late morning or early evening. Only half of the chases, which last from 20-60 seconds, are successful. Cheetahs knock their prey to the ground and kill with a suffocating bite to the neck. They must eat quickly before they lose the kills to other bigger or more aggressive carnivores. Cheetahs are also typically solitary animals. While males sometimes live with a small group of brothers from the same litter, females generally raise cubs by themselves for about a year. Height 2 ½ -3 feet at shoulders / Length 44-53 inches (tail length of 26-33 inches) / Weight 110-140 pounds Top Speed 70mph Lifespan 10-12 years Diet Gazelles, wildebeest calves, impalas and smaller hoofed animals Threats The cheetah’s future is uncertain due to a variety of threats. The biggest is habitat loss due to human encroachment. In addition, they often deal with declines in prey and conflicts with humans. There is also high cub mortality due to predation by carnivores like lions and hyenas that are in competition with the cheetah, as well as genetic inbreeding which leads to abnormalities.

Isn’t she lovely? / I love the eyes! We really saw a lot of these Impala’s, but I never tired of looking at them – or photographing them for that matter! An impala (Aepyceros melampus Greek αιπος, aipos “high” κερος, ceros “horn” + melas “black” pous “foot”) is a medium-sized African antelope. The name impala comes from the Zulu language. They are found in savannas and thick bushveld in Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, northern Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, southern Angola, northeastern South Africa and Uganda. Appearance / Average mass for a male Impala is approximately 75 kilograms while females weigh approximately 40 to 53 kilograms. They are reddish-brown in color (hence the Afrikaans name of “Rooibok”), have lighter flanks and white underbellies with a characteristic “M” marking on its rear. Males, referred to as rams, have lyre-shaped horns which can reach up to 90 centimeters in length. Females, referred to as ewes, have no horns. Ecology / Impala are among the dominant species in many savannas. They can adapt to different environment by being grazers in some areas and browsers in others. They graze when the grass is green and growing and browse at other times. They will browse on shoots, seedpods and foliage. / Herds will use specific areas for their excrement. Impala are active during both day and night and are dependent on water. A herd is normally an indicator of water close by. Impala can thrive in areas where pure grazers can not survive. When frightened or startled the whole impala herd starts leaping about in order to confuse their predator. They can jump distances more than 9 meters (30 ft) and 2.5 meters (8 ft) high. Leopards, cheetah, Nile crocodiles, lions, spotted hyenas and wild dogs prey on impala. Impala can reach running speeds of around 80 to 90 km/h (50-55 mph).[2] Social structure and reproduction / Females and young form herds of up to two hundred individuals. When food is plentiful, adult males will establish territories and round up any female herd that enter their grounds and will chase away bachelor males that follow. They will even chase away recently weaned males. A male impala tries to prevent any female from leaving its territory. During the dry seasons, territories are abandoned as herds must travel farther to find food. Large, mixed tranquil herds of females and males form. / Young male impala who have been made to leave their previous herd form bachelor herds of around thirty individuals. Males that are able to dominate their herd are contenders for assuming control of their territory. The breeding season of impala, also called rutting, begins toward the end of the wet season in May. The entire affair typically lasts approximately three weeks. While young are born after seven months, the mother has the ability to delay giving birth for an additional month if conditions are harsh. When giving birth a female impala will isolate herself from the herd despite numerous attempts by the male to keep her in his territory. The impala mother will keep the fawn in an isolated spot for a few days or even leave it lying out in hiding for a couple days, weeks, or more before returning to the herd. There the fawn will join a nursery group and will go to its mother only to nurse and when predators are near. Fawns are suckled for 4 to 6 months. Males who mature are forced out of the group and will join bachelor herds. Information from Wikipedia Kruger National Park / Sabie Camp / South Africa Canon EOS450D
