Description
Taken in Kruger Park, South Africa. Nikon D60.Anyone who has been to Kruger knows that these guys are everywhere! You actually get bored of seeing them very quickly, which is why I overlooked posting an impala picture here. But this photograph stood out to me, which is why it is now here.
Fun fact:
Impala, and many other antelopes, only sleep for around 30 seconds a day, and not even all at once. They sleep for 1 to 3 second intervals many times a day, to total up to 30 seconds. They do this so that they can always be alert to predators.
