African Antelope

This gallery is composed of a multitude of African antelope, from the klipspringer to the kudu. During our (10/09) trip, we were able to increase the overall quantity, as well as the quality, of the photos in this group. We now have shots of a male and female nyala, Gemsbok, springbok, black faced impala and red hartebeest. It is with the nyala that the reference to sheep changes to that of cattle - the male nyala being much larger than the female (250lbs versus 160) is normally referred to as a bull and the female as an ewe. With the antelope larger then the nyala, such as the waterbuck, the male is a bull and the female a cow. Smaller, such as the impala, the male is a ram and the female is a ewe with the babies being lambs. Confusing isn't it? You can also probably have an argument over where the cut off is. In any case, we hope you enjoy.

  • These two young impala lambs were taken in Kruger in December. Impala can be up to 120 lbs for a male and 90 lbs for a female. They can be found in large breeding herds of up to 200. Herds of 20 to 30 are more common. Each herd will have one or in larger herds two dominent males. In the park you will also see herds comprised of only males these groups are refered to as  bachelor herds. The impala tend to be the main diet of many of Kruger's predators. Kruger Park
