~ This impala bachelor herd was in a glade not far from the Ewaso Nyiro River. When we encountered them, they were lightly grazing, glancing up at us. A few of the younger males briefly ran as if we constituted a threat. The older males remained steady such that soon calm prevailed. What is the transition process by which a young male impala leaves its mother to become a bachelor herd member? Is there any sort of emotional wrenching experienced by individual male impala? I see them on every safari yet understand them far too little.
