Habitat

Impala's live throughout south-east Africa. Zimbabwe is said to have more impala's than people. They are grass and leaf eaters. In the dry season they live together in groups of about 2000 animals.

Breeding
Impala's are not breeded, but they are real wild antelopes.

Hunting
Because there are too many impala's in South Africa, they are often hunted by professional hunters during a drive hunt. There are never too many impala's shot as the locals make sure the rest of the herd is breeded until the next season. If the farm is enclosed, hunting is permitted throughout the year. In practice, however, there is a hunting season between April and August, which is winter in Africa. The export to Europe is small and a lot of farmers and hunters would like to see the number being increased.
