    The two dark creatures are wildebeest, so one possibility is that the tan coloured creature is a young wildebeest - they start off a lot lighter in colour and darken as they get older. Another possibility is that it's one of the deer/antelope/gazelle species - just not enough detail to identify for certain. As you say, though, if it was a lion, it's hard to imagine the rest of the animals ignoring it quite so comprehensively - at the very least, they'd have their heads up, watching it closely to see if it's just passing through or thinking of dinner... 😃
