Rhulani bush stories: The end of the impala

- News, Wildlife, Ranger's Blog

Don't miss anything and join in when our rangers report on current sightings that are unusual even for them. Today Willem sends us a fantastic and rare sighting where a lioness in the open field takes advantage of the loud wind and uses it to prey on a male impala. And as Willem says in his audio message: "That was the end of the impala". Be there!
