IUCN · LEAST CONCERN · the savanna’s high jumper
One Statue. Two Habitats.
The head attaches to the plaque with a hidden magnet — lift it off whenever you like.
On the shelf: Trophy Hall
Mounted on its wood-grain shield plaque with a brass-style nameplate, it reads like a natural-history-museum exhibit — shrunk to the size of your palm.
Off the plaque: Fridge Guardian
Removed from the plaque, the impala’s long, ridged horns and fine-boned face bring an elegant touch of the savanna to any magnetic surface.
Startle a herd of impalas and the air fills with antelopes. They scatter in every direction, some leaping three meters high and ten meters long, a sudden burst of bodies that leaves a predator unsure which one to chase.
The Great Leap
Those spectacular jumps aren’t only about escape. Impalas sometimes leap even when nothing is chasing them, and many experts believe the explosion of movement confuses predators and warns the rest of the herd.
Lyre Horns
Only males grow horns: long, ridged and swept back in the elegant S-curve of a lyre. They are used in fierce contests during the rutting season, and this bust gives them pride of place.
You Groom Me, I Groom You
Impalas take turns grooming each other’s heads and necks to remove ticks, trading strokes almost one for one. It is a textbook example of cooperation between animals.
Menu for Every Season
Unusually adaptable, an impala grazes on fresh grass in the wet season and switches to leaves and shoots in the dry season. That flexibility keeps it one of the most common antelopes in Africa.
