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

Not an issue, the crocs favor deep deepwater where they can be completly submerged and cool during the day. I havent seen the waterbucks ive seen dont do in further then their ankes so it tens to be more waterlogged areas then deep water

It's as if the buck is looking directly at you with a meaningful expression on it's face. Excellent portraiture!
