I is for Impala

I got Dylan these particular flash cards, because frankly, I loved the illustrations, they're beautiful.
That said, a few of the animals are a tad... unusual. There are some standards - fox - caterpillar - zebra.
Then there's I, which is for an Impala.

What's an Impala?

Well, according to the African WIldlife Association:
The impala is reddish-brown with white hair inside the ears, over each eye and on the chin, upper throat, underparts and buttocks. A narrow black line runs along the middle of the lower back to the tail, and a vertical black stripe appears on the back of each thigh. Impalas have unique brushlike tufts of black hair that cover a scent gland located just above the heel on each hind leg.
Impalas are found at grassland and woodland edges, usually very close by water.

So there you are. Now you know.
