Pictured is a sideview of a male impala in an open field with the savannah in the background in the Okavango Delta in Botswana, Africa. He is practicing for combat by performing a mock charge in the air. The glossy coat is reddish brown on the back, tan on the flanks, and white on the underbelly. The impala is an important prey species for Africa's large carnivores. To escape it can jump up to ten feet high and cover distances in the air up to thiry-three feet. The photograph was taken from a safari vehicle based at the Atzaro Okavango Camp. The binomial name is Aepyceros melampus.
