A genus of African antelopes with a stocky build, including the impala.
From Greek aepy (steep, high) + keras (horn). The name refers to the distinctive upright horns of these antelopes, which stand high and prominent.
Impalas got their genus name because their horns point dramatically upward, almost like they're reaching for something. Yet these animals are famous for their incredible leaping ability—all that upright horn doesn't slow them down one bit.
