Well Fed Pride - 08:33 pm
25 Jan 2010
The Xakanaxa pride have returned to the heart of their territory.
They were in the Mopane forest near Jessie’s Pools and looked well fed. When one of the males joined the rest of the pride all the cubs ran to greet him and a couple of lionesses joined in later.
There is a possibility that a lioness could be coming into estrus as the male followed her closely and displayed flehmen frequently.
All the lions moved into the shade as the day warmed.
Nearby roosting vultures attracted our attention.
They were attracted to the remains of a giraffe. It was about 4 days old and the lions had finished the carcass, leaving the rest to the vultures.
