Impala are the most numerous antelope, sometimes occurring in herds of 30 or more

They are most frequently seen in smaller groups of half a dozen or so

Female Greater Kudu

Male Greater Kudu
Kudu's tails are brown on the outside, to match the kudu, but white on the underside. When a kudu is alarmed, it lifts its tail as it runs away, showing the white part. The theory is that it serves as a visual alarm signal for the rest of the herd to follow, though you'd think it would also help a pursuing predator.
