On our way back up, there was another eland - also on top of the dunes.

God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.

Returning to the lions, we were surprised to find that we were the only car. The others had probably all heard about our leopards yesterday and were in hot pursuit of them
Unfortunately for my photo count, close-up lions are always a nice photo opportunity too
Roles reverted form the morning Pesky flies! That's all we got to see of the second, younger female. Not sure... ...what I'm supposed to think of that gesture

The lioness is not exactly in a very elegant pose
The meerkat is not kidding when it comes to teeth and claws
Lovely pic of the snake eagle takeoff
I still have not seen an eland
And Hanri is her beautiful self

A great variety of sightings that afternoon!! The lions were lazy but being so close you got some great shots.
Re: Lions for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner (October 2019)

Wow Mel, what an incredible array of cat sightings you had! And really fantastic pics to back up your stories
Re: Lions for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner (October 2019)
Coming up to speed, here - yep, kudus and elands were more abundant than ever before and we, too, enjoyed seeing them. How handsome is NKosana!! What a brute And then, drum roll...yet another great leopard sighting :
It's always special to see lions at night, and are another wonderful excuse for "we" Germans to go wild I like the Rocky Balboa male lion - boy, must he have tales to tell.
I love any Meerkat sighting , (especially now, as we just adopted a stray from the Puerto Rican hurricane rescue missions and we SWEAR she's half Chihuahua, half Meerkat.)
Lastly, your Snake Eagle pic is perfect, and I can't forget to give Hanri a vicariously.

I did not know that there are meerkats in Pueto Rico Are they living in family groups like the African ones?
You must get another three or five
