Maybe YOU can easily get your daily fix from STARBUCKS, but WILD (BIG) CATS (like LEOPARDS) and WILD DOGS cannot easily get it from MARSHBUCKS. If those predators only see some nostrils above the water surface, then there's no SITATUNGA lying in that swamp pool, right? Wrong! I show you WWF MAXIMUM CARDS from BURUNDI, with SITATUNGA, or MARSHBUCK (Tragelaphus spekii)

"The sitatunga or marshbuck (Tragelaphus spekii) is a swamp-dwelling antelope found throughout Central Africa, centering on the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Cameroon and parts of Southern Sudan as well as in Ghana, Botswana, Zambia, Gabon, Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya."

"Sitatunga live in papyrus swamps and are very good swimmers. 

They may take to the water to evade predators such as leopards or wild dogs, lying submerged in pools with only their nostrils above the surface. 

They have been known to sleep underwater. "
