Full Strength Pride - 07:30 pm
11 Jan 2010
The Xakanaxa pride are all back together.
Not only has the female cub returned, but also the male who was not with the pride for the last week.
The lions were following fresh buffalo tracks north from 2nd Bridge. Judging by the freshness of the spoor, the lions were not far behind the buffalo.
It was mid morning when the sun finally managed to burn through the clouds. As the temperature increased the pride stopped following the buffalo and moved into the shade.
We headed on to locate the buffalo and found them less than 1 kilometre away. They were wallowing at a pan and moved west, further from the lions.
Returning to the lions, who were still where we had left them, they did not seem to interested in continuing to follow the buffalo herd.
The clouds returned and once it started to rain there was very little chance that the pride would move.
It was a big relief for me that the female cub has rejoined the pride.
