However in the bush of the Greater Kruger, they have had to adapt their behaviour to suit their environment. In areas thick with scrub
That about sums it up?
They are also presumably hungry?
They keep watch, as hyenas/lions are often not far behind, depending on the sounds emitted from the prey!

We spotted something similar in 2009 where a cheetah took out an impala on the H4-1 in dense bush

These two appeared at the waterhole Punda Maria.
They were a very happy couple, bonded.
The cow had a disorder to a back leg.
Her ear and tail also seemed in bad shape.
They seemed very bonded and the youngster continuously shielded that leg.
Who are this couple??

I think it's just a previously broken leg that has healed skew, H.?
Ellies are very resilient...snares sometimes catch on their legs, for example, even cable snares, and they survive quite well with the skin growing over the wound!
Lots of weight to carry!
