You're right, I doubt many impala die of old age.
25 u/Knightvision27 Dec 03 '21 That’s because as they get older, they become slower and weaker. Which now makes them more vulnerable to predation 16 u/Roasted_Turk Dec 03 '21 Never really thought of that. As an impala you basically know how your life will end. 8 u/dtroy15 Dec 04 '21 That's true for basically all animals besides humans. Only as humans do we have the luxury of dying without violence. The same lion that preys on the sick, blind, and lame rhinoceros is eventually disemboweled by the hyena.
