Copulation
The mating season, or rut, typically occurs during the wet season when food resources are abundant.
Rutting call
Male impalas produce distinctive snorting and roaring sounds to assert dominance and attract females.
Flehmen response
During the rut, rams use the Flehmen response to sniff ewes' urine and detect their readiness to mate, an evolutionary advantage ensuring efficient reproduction at peak fertility times.
Chasing females
Rams often exhibit vigorous chasing and running towards estrous females, signaling their courtship and mating intentions.
Scent Marking
Rams use scent marking to attract ewes and to mark their territories. Flicking grass or dirt demonstrates their strength and vigor.They have specialized glands near their eyes and on their foreheads for this purpose.
Battle and Harem
Rams engage in fierce battles for dominance using their long, lyre-shaped horns. A successful male impala takes control of a harem consisting of up to 10-50 females, mating with each reproductive one just once. The male herds these females, trying to keep them within his territory and away from rival males.
Female Selectivity
During the rut, female impalas typically choose the strongest and most dominant males as their mates, as these qualities indicate good health and strong genetics.
The mating behaviors of impalas, from intense battles to strategic female choice, are a fascinating display of nature's evolutionary dance, ensuring the survival and continuation of the species.
