Antelopes are part of the large group of horn carriers (bovidae). In contrast to the animals carrying antlers, they have their horns lifelong. In most of the species only the male has horns, in some they are common to both genders. Of the gracious impalas alone, the most widely spread species, there are 90,000 individuals in the Kruger National Park (top photo).
One can also watch kudus (photo centre right) which can jump over 2.50 m high fences. There is the waterbuck (bottom right photo), the meat of which acquires a rancid taste once they are older than three months, which is quite a good protection from predators.
Even the rare red hartebeest with its oddly shaped horns can be found in the park (photo bottom left).
