Male Impala- Nairobi Park

This healthy looking male Impala was busy keeping a harem of some 20 females under control & away from the peripheral lurkers- all waiting for the opportunity to usurp his position as dominant male. Busy work on both sides!

The females are generally unperturbed by all the rushing about & get on with the job of feeding sufficiently to produce &  raise the young. Immature males usually stay with the herd of females & probably learn a bit about harem-minding while there.
