Catching up again 0:

The young teenage lions irritating dad is fantastic interaction. O:V

A lion sighting like that is awesome, especially since you had peace on the trail :-0

The next day though :shock:

S100 lion luck and leopard on it. :-0 I have only ever found 2 on it. :-(

Then lions on a buffalo kill with juniors around. Amazing luck and brilliant pics ^Q^ ^Q^ ^Q^ ^Q^ ^Q^ What a morning so far :-0

I'm still enthralled by this lion sighting! O:V


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

Thanks for peeping in, Bushcraft, but I guess you cannot complain with your cat sightings you always so have or remember the action by night at Talamati waterhole O** O** O**

Finally the cleanest of all the lions had its share from the buffet as well

Image

whilst one of the adult lioness had already enough from the kill and put her head simply on same – Just in case or for later.

Image

The jackal also had to wait and same did so patiently although same got already a bit nervous that maybe after all the lions had finished nothing more will be available.

Image

Family reunion a bit differently!

Image

Image

The smaller ones meanwhile were allowed to step on their food

Image

in order to get from the kill their share as well.

Image

Some of them had already enough

Image

whilst other had not.

Image

I am more than full!

Image

A lioness was a bit overzealous and somehow had bitten into the stomach as suddenly some greasy green stuff burst over the back of a close by standing lioness.

Image

The smaller cubs crawled meanwhile into the buffalo and once they re-appeared they were covered by really looking fresh blood besides the other filthy stuff they already were wearing –

Image

Image

at least they did not look that appetizing, however, I guess the buffalo was to them.

Image

Meanwhile also the females had enough

Image

whilst other were still having their bite

Image

Image

and others on the other hand were climbing on the food to perhaps also find a place to feed from.

Image

to be continued.....
