Cheers.
Yes, a male impala (left) with two of his harem grazing in the background.
Impala love eating fallen flowers from the sausage tree (Kigelia africana), but. when the elephant arrived they thought that competing with him for food might not be in their best interest, so they sought their sustainance elsewhere
Actually... if you zoom in on the male impala, you will see that what he is actually doing is picking through some dry elephant dung. Elephants don't have a particularly efficient digestive system and their dung attracts baboons in particular who pick through it looking for undigested nutrients and insects. This scatters the dung around and makes it easier for other animals like impala to pick through for morsels as well.
