Impalas

 

I have never heard

that name before,

but they look nice,

please tell me more?

 

In Africa where

they have their roots

they live on open fields,

mostly in large groups.

 

So they’ll see it when

danger appears.

They can listen real closely

by turning their ears.

 

That way they’ll know

when danger is near

and how to react

without any fear.

 

Africa is far away,

but if you want to

you can see them

at the zoo.
