Hornless Impala vs Grant's Gazelle

• by pdtucci

  I seem to be having a difficult time distinguishing them from each other. Suggestions?

  Grant's always have horns, in both sexes, unless they are very small fawns. Impala are a rich warm orange-brown and Grant's are a cooler pinkish color. Impalas have black tips to their ears and Grant's don't. And if they are in open plains with no bushes, they are most likely gazelles rather than impala. Does this help?
