I already posted one shot of this red lechwe dashing through the flooded savanna of the Okavango Delta. Here’s another. Red lechwes spend most of their time in the water eating aquatic plants. Their legs are covered in a water repelling substance allowing them to run quite fast in knee deep water. The water and tall grass also provide protection from predators.
