Impalas are fleet runners who are able to leap distances of up to 33 feet. They use this technique to escape predators and sometimes, apparently, simply to amuse themselves. The impala can also clear bushes and other obstacles by soaring some 10 feet in the air.
Beautiful indeed! Such attractive and delicate looking animals, but such skill with runnung and leaping. A super shot in the early morning light - fav!
