Impala
Aepyceros melampus
Natuurlijk dieet Impala
Impalas are herbivorous mammals with a diverse diet depending on the resources available in their environment. They are intermediate feeders that both browse and graze. Grasses are the main part of their diet, particularly after the raining seasons. However, during the dry season, the proportion of grasses in their diet decreases and they rely more on (woody) browse.
