Waterbuck

[Bryan Pereira]

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

Is the shot cropped? Can you give the animal a little more room to the right and above?

Yes certainly could and I think it would be better and even up with the left side space
