Styx Pride

[WildRev]

'After a good meal, the Styx Pride were content and resting in the late afternoon. We had noticed one of the females was missing and was seen drinking water from the waterhole in front of Selati Camp, quite a distance from the rest of the pride. Suddenly, one of the adult females sat up and was instantly alert. There were soft contact calls coming from the east. A short while later the pride re-joined the female, and all were happy to see her.

Lions have strong social bonds and care deeply for each member of the pride. This is evident every time a pride member re-joins after a short time away. Lions will affirm social bonds often by grooming, and with soft nudges and nose touches.'
