The impala is a medium-sized, slender antelope similar to the kob or Grant's gazelle in build. The head-and-body length is around 130 centimetres (51 in). Males reach approximately 75–92 centimetres (30–36 in) at the shoulder, while females are 70–85 centimetres (28–33 in) tall. Males typically weigh 53–76 kilograms (117–168 lb) and females 40–53 kilograms (88–117 lb). Sexually dimorphic, females are hornless and smaller than males. Males grow slender, lyre-shaped horns 45–92 centimetres (18–36 in) long. The horns, strongly ridged and divergent, are circular in section and hollow at the base. Their arch-like structure allows interlocking of horns, which helps a male throw off his opponent during fights; horns also protect the skull from damage.

You will be receiving a skull from our inventory which is very similar to the photos on this listing. Sizes mentioned are averages. Some horns are longer than the others and some shorter.

Nose bones are very fragile. Some skulls will have the nose bone and others will not. Also, sometimes the nose cap detaches but it can be easily glued.

Our African animals (skins, skulls and horns) are also taken legally and imported with all necessary documentation. None of the African animals are endangered species and the springbok are actually harvested in culling events where over-populations need to be thinned.

For size comparison please look at the photo of the springbok skull next to blesbok, impala and red hartebeest. That is a good way to visualize the size difference between these animal skulls.
