Waterbuck

These bucks spend most of their time in wet swampland, their hooves are specially designed not to rot in the water and their fur has an oil that makes it water resistant. The oils also have a bad taste making it less appealing to predators. I've not seen many or any lion kills with them

Nice. Have you considered removing the bright spot in the upper left?

After reading what Morris said

I went back and spotted the

white dot too. I'd agree

with removing it.

Totally thought of it before posting then just left it thinking this is how it was... nothing taken nothing added

Nice Defassa Waterbuck.

You are right, certainly not the favourite prey of lions, but they will feed on them when other options are slim. That said I have only seen them scavenge on waterbuck killed by hyena.
