South African name for the impala — one of the most iconic and abundant antelope species on the African savanna. The word comes from Afrikaans and literally means 'red buck,' referring to the animal's warm reddish-brown coat. Impala are famous for their incredible agility and can leap over 3 metres high and 10 metres in distance. In South Africa, 'rooibok' is the everyday local name used by hunters, game rangers, and wildlife enthusiasts rather than the formal 'impala.'
