Sherryl is sending plenty pics... :shock:



Driving down the road and came across some ellies when suddenly we caught a glimpse of a leopard in front of the cars opposite. This leopard was looking up into the trees and seemed tense and sussing out the situation. We found the kill in the tree after he had walked down the embankment into the scrub. He was then hidden by the shadows and bushes.
We moved on and about 400meters down the road we came across the lions, also very much hidden in the bush and shadow. Cars were parked in and viewing was not easy. But we could see the lions if you carefully looked through the tangle. Watching the lions we became aware that there was another lion up the tree and saw another leopard kill up the tree. This lioness then jumped out the tree. Then we noticed the lioness eating a portion of the kill and we think it is that first lioness who had managed to bring down a piece of the kill. Two other lionesses decided they wanted some of the same kill and thats when we managed to get some shots of the lady jumping into and then out of the tree

This is really weird:

Cape Talk | A week before Christmas, Nala, a white lioness, gave birth despite the fact that her mate was sterilised.


CAPE TOWN - The Drakenstein Lion Park in Paarl is celebrating the birth of three rare white lion cubs.

Nala, a white lioness, gave birth despite the fact that her mate Brutus had been sterilised.

The park is a sanctuary for abused and rescued lions, but it does not breed them.

They'll have to change their mind on the breading thing or prosecute the vet that sterilized Brutus =O: =O:
