After birth, the impala mother hides her baby and only visits it for feeding. It will join the group only when it is able to follow its mother. If, in a group, several births take place at the same time, a nursery is established and the infants are taken there from the second day. Once integrated into the group, the young impala moves freely and only joins its mother to suckle. Easy prey for predators, the mortality rate of young impalas is very high.
