An African impala (Aepyceros melampus) shoulder mount has a tan coat, pale throat and underside, dark facial markings, and long, ridged horns that curve outward and back in a lyre shape. The head turns slightly toward its left shoulder, and the flat-backed mount is prepared for wall hanging. Impala inhabit the grasslands and open woodlands of eastern and southern Africa. Only males carry horns. Their social groups change with the availability of food: males defend territories when forage is plentiful, while dry conditions draw the herds together as they range farther to feed. Their high, bounding leaps help a startled herd stay together as it evades predators. Damage is present to both ears and the snout, with cracking and material loss around the nose. The mount measures approximately 11.5" x 27" x 23.25" tall.
