No, I haven't but I haven't had much time for camming today.

But I am sure we will hear the rutting call again in May. Smiling

Does the impala sound kind of like a pig when it makes noise?

Hi KMello

Those adorable elegant creatures can make a lot of different calls/sounds. Not the most expected ones.

The rutting call sounds a bit like a pig indeed. Their alarm call is more like a bark.

You can hear both calls on the Sounds of Nkorho website: http://www.everyoneweb.com/ngala/

their "hearts weigh 24 pounds" because of the need for helping to pump blood up their long neck, etc.

It's about two to three metres (7 - 10 ft) from its heart to head. They need a massive heart to pump the blood that far against gravity.

Not that I've heard, but I am hearing what you are talking about.
