Like the antelopes, impalas live in African savannahs and its predators are lions, leopards and hyenas. It lives on flat areas, eats all forms of grass and drink very few. Males have lyre-shaped horns becoming an S-shape as they grow older. Impalas live in herds closer in winter than and wider in summer. Inside groups, respect is won by horn-fight between males. It’s interesting to know that black-faced impalas are considered threatened with extinction.</p> <br /><em> source : <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/desertsky/64876134/">flickr (_desertsky)</a> and <a hreflang="fr" href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impala">wikipedia</a><br /> </em> http://www.animalspix.com/post/2006/07/21/Black-Rhino urn:md5:3afe42fc7f49bc2b2de4cd94bf25f21b Fri, 21 Jul 2006 07:00:00 +0200 elo endangeredhornmammalpoachingrhinorhinoceros <div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mybigtrip/39395800/"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/23/39395800_3666a76922.jpg" alt="gibbon" /></a></div><p>African population of Black rhinoceros : 700 000 in the beginning of the 20th century, 70 000 in the 60's, between 10 and 15 000 in the early 80's and only 2400 in 1995.
