A Tourist Saves a Wild Impala in Distress, But the Story’s Got a Major Twist That Changes Everything

It fills our hearts with joy when we hear someone doing something selfless, like when a tourist saved a wild impala in distress during a wild safari.

But it turns out that there’s a bigger truth behind Steve Haley, the Canterbury chef who allegedly saved the day. Haley had been on safaris in the past, but his latest tripe turned out way different from any past adventures.

Because although he makes his living as a chef, now he’s being hailed as a wildlife hero. And as a result, we’re questioning social media altogether…

25. Impala vs. Impala

The first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word impala is the 1967 Chevrolet Impala, which is a pretty great car. But you’d never assume it was a medium-sized antelope with lyre-shaped ringed horns.

24. Impalas Are Pretty Iconic

You’ve probably seen a Chevy Impala on “Supernatural,” a show about two demon-hunting brothers who fight the good fight across the country. But wild impalas are a totally different subject altogether.

23. But These Beauties Don’t Consume Gas

Impalas are native to woodlands of eastern and southern Africa. They prefer to munch on plants rather than load up on a full tank of gas. In fact, there’s plenty of grass and herbs for them to eat during the region’s rainy season.

22. Oh Deer

Impalas look like a cross between a deer and a goat because they have long necks and legs like the former, but have black horns like the latter. They’re also related to goats, cattle and sheep. And they have something in common with dogs.
