The Meaty Bits
Lion, lion, lions. You ahve to love them! Went out for an afternoon drive and our goal for the afternoon was to find Lion cubs, which I thought was going to be a real hit and miss. Never the less we cracked on. Pearl, Azriman, and I had one goal. Cubs!
As we were approaching the road I wanted to look on, a massive elephant bull crossed the road in front of us. So we drove up and viewed the lovely, grey giant. After sitting for awhile, I hear that distictive 'meow' sound. Thats all I needed. If it weren't for that Elie, we would never of seen these cubs.
But there was a bonus to all this...a Lion kill!!!! Watching the cubs was apleasure but then out of the middle of nowhere a Lioness that we didn't see nailed a Wildebeest, right in front of us!!!
We watched the whole suffocation process, and one word to describe it...Intense!!! After the hard to watch bit, the females started opening up the animal and allowed the cubs to have a large meaty meal!
Luck as they say! But for James and Emma, as I know you wanted these cubs bad. So here they are these images are dedicated to you! A drive too late, unfortunately!
