"Assuming you can tell
impala dropping from any other antelope droppings, how can you tell what
sex made the droppings? One clue is the spacing between droppings.
Female impala squat down at the rear when defecating and this leaves a
fairly tidy pile. Male impala do not squat down so the droppings fall
from a greater height and tend to give a more scattered disperse
arrangement to their droppings."
"Namibia
has two sorts of impala, the common, and the black-faced Impala."
"Why did a separate
subspecies evolve in western Namibia? A view is that a lack of water
between the black-faced in the west and the common populations in the
Caprivi has acted as an impenetrable barrier. This has allowed the black
faced to develop their pretty black blaze down their forehead."
