Actually, I think they did this with the Orpen dam because a family of hippo had moved in and were fouling the water.

Near Skukuza, there is a famous lookout point called Mathekanyane, where you are allowed to get out of the car.
Well, this morning, this little lion cub was spotted right on the rocks.
"We don't know if the lion cub is dead or alive. It is laying quite still."
It seems like there is something wrong with the cub.
We urge everyone not to get out the car - the mother might be near and that can be a very dangerous situation.
We will keep you updated with what happens to the cub and if it is alive or not.

Looks like it was mauled by a male, or hyena? -O-
