Impalas

Impalas are animals that appear in The Lion Guard. They live in the Pride Lands.

Appearance
Impalas have sleek brown coats broken by an area of darker brown fur on their back. Their underbellies and the undersides of their tails are white in color. Male impalas have a pair of long, slender horns.

Information
Impalas are a type of antelope native to Africa. They are foragers that feed mainly off of grasses and foliage, and are adaptable enough to not need to migrate long distances, unlike other antelope. Male impalas are larger than females, who also lack the horns that are present on males.

The Call of the Drongo
Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu attempt to hunt a herd of impalas, chasing after them as they flee. The Lion Guard arrives and stops the hyenas, allowing the impalas to graze in peace. However, they are soon disrupted again by the sound of Kion's voice, announcing that the hyenas are back in the Pride Lands and that they need to run to the Outlands. Though at first they ignore him, Punda Milia obeys, panicking loudly, which causes the impala herd to flee into the Outlands with the hyenas pursuing them. They stampede through a canyon until they reach a dead end, where they begin to settle down.

The hyenas begin to hunt them, but are once again foiled by the Lion Guard. The Guard leads the impalas back to safety in the Pride Lands.
