A territorial Impala ram gathers a herd of up to 50 and even more ewes (called harem) and defends and protects them from other rams. Fights often occur and at times some rams can be seriously injured and often killed. During these rutting and mating times, rams can be heard day and night uttering loud snorts and grunts.
