Not literally, obviously, but you know, figuratively. Maybe not even that. This intro is starting to not make any sense. Anyways, red lechwe are specially adapted to swampy environments. Unlike many antelopes, they are often found standing in shallow water or mud, which helps them escape predators that struggle in wetlands. See where we were going there?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1262\" data-start=\"541\"\u003eNot only do they hang out in wetlands, but they seem to almost have magical water-walking abilities. Their long, slightly curved hind legs are one of their most unusual features. These legs give them a distinctive bounding gait that looks a bit like they are bouncing over the water’s surface when they run. Not only can they bound across swampland, but they are also excellent swimmers. They will enter deeper water when threatened and can move through flooded areas with surprising ease compared to most other hoofed animals. They stick to these watery hideaways because of their diet. They mainly eat aquatic grasses, which gives them a niche advantage since few large herbivores can feed comfortably in flooded areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1420\" data-start=\"1264\"\u003eThe horns on this guy are huge, and if you’re looking for a mount to tie everything together in your collection with a swampy vibe, this is the one for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant Shipping Info For Oversized Items:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlease Note:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Oversized items like this do not qualify for the free shipping discount.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor more information about our shipping policies, please see our \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/paxtongate.com\/pages\/shipping\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eshipping page\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/strong\u003e  We will do our best to ship via conventional methods, but some mounts are just too big for carriers to handle safely.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor Conventional\u003c\/strong\u003e: We will work to find you the best shipping rate and invoice you once it’s determined.
