New mission!
Impala is terug in Nederland! Wil de volgende vinder hem op weg helpen richting Flevoland zodat hij thuis weer een nieuwe opdracht kan krijgen?
Alvast bedankt.
Please help Impala to travel back to his owner in The Netherlands.
Impala completed his original mission, to travel back to Southern Africa. (Impala originates from Harare, Zimbabwe.) In the mean time he wants his picture taken together with other animals near the places he visits.

About This Item

impala and goldfish

Voor nederlands zie:http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impala
An impala (or Rooibok) (Aepyceros melampus Greek aipos "high" ceros "horn" + melas "black" pous "foot") is a medium-sized African antelope, weighing about 50 kg. Reddish-brown in colour with lighter flanks, it has a white underbelly. The male has lyre-shaped horns. Impala are among the most beautiful and graceful of the antelopes. They can normally be found foraging around the Butagee of South Africa. They are among the dominant species in many savannas.

Exceedingly agile, impala are capable of leaping over 10 m in a single bound. They are gregarious creatures and are usually found in herds, often a male with many females. They are common throughout Southern Africa. Their food consists of a mixture of grasses and woody species.

Many species of predators eat impala. This fact, and the distinctive M shape on the backside gave the impala its nickname as "the McDonalds of the African plains".

Na een prachtige reis is Impala weer thuis.
Na enig heen en weer springen in Nederland is hij via de UAE in Zuid-Afrika terecht gekomen. Hiermee heeft Impala met giga sprongen heel snel zijn opdracht volbracht. Vervolgens is hij weer via de UAE en Thailand terug naar huis gekomen. Hier wacht Impala een nieuwe opdracht.
Heel leuk dat er toch een flink aantal foto's bij de logs geplaatst zijn. Dank aan een ieder die hier aan meegewerkt heeft.

Groeten,

Impala is terug in de Flevopolder. We hebben er een briefje bijgedaan dat hij opgehaald wordt door zijn eigenaar, omdat hij een nieuwe opdracht krijgt.

Geweldig, wat een indrukwekkende reis heeft de Impala achter de rug. Vandaag hebben we hem uit een prachtige cache in Westerwolde gehaald en we zullen hem binnenkort naar huis brengen.

  • De impala springt even rond in Westerwolde.

Grabbing Impala back from Liveonce. Impala has been languishing too long between the UAE and South Africa. He is keen to see new pastures, so he will venture with us to Thailand in a few days, from where he can set off on more extended journies. SAFE onward travels!! 😛

Found this Impala TB with my dad in a area close to our farm. I was planning to take it back to the UAE with me, when I saw that he came from there and have another mission.

Interesting was the fact the GeoCRAt who helped him to come to SA and myself found many caches together in the UAE, I haven't met the Impala there, but now so close to home do.

I will place the Impala in a new cache soon.
