Common Impala - Fighting Rams
A pair of Common Impala rams fight it out over territorial and dominance rights.
These rams did not even notice me ... their horns made a loud clap every time they collided. Focused and determined, I managed to get closer and closer until I got this shot. Again, the dust against a setting sun makes for a wonderful silhouette photograph. As you can see, these guys put everything they have into the fight.
The impala is a medium-sized African antelope. It is the type species of the genus "Aepyceros" and belongs to the family Bovidae. Two subspecies of the impala have been recognised: the common impala and the black-faced.
