what is an "impala"?

Impalas are medium-sized antelopes known for their exceptional leaping ability, with the ability to jump up to 10 feet high and cover distances of up to 33 feet in a single bound. They have a distinctive appearance, with a sleek body, slender legs, and a short, bristly mane along their neck. Impalas are highly social animals that typically live in large herds, and their cooperative behavior helps them detect and escape from predators in the wild. They are herbivorous grazers, feeding on a variety of vegetation, and are an important prey species for many large predators in Africa, including lions, leopards, and cheetahs.
