Elephant Plains Lion on the Rise
October 19, 2009 The lion sightings at Elephant Plains have been phenomenal this month. The Tsalala’s and the Stix pride were seen nearly every day and guests were privileged to witness a few spectacular kills. Sadly one of the Stix females got killed by the Mapogo’s in a feeding frenzy. They are very aggressive lions when feeding and she was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. She apparently had the back part of her spine snapped. But as for all the other lions it is going well. The Tsalala pride still has all eight of their cubs and one specific day they had two of the Mapogo’s resting with them. The cubs are very playful and the males seem to tolerate them rather well. It was an exceptional sighting to witness. The Stix pride lost one of their cubs for about a week, but luckily, they found each other again. So they still have five cubs. The Sandypatch female still comes in and out of the east and still has her one cub. The Windmill pride appeared for a few days and they have three males of about three years old and they are in good health. This new pride is welcomed with open arms as more lions mean better sightings! These Sighting have been viewed at Elephant Plains https://lionprides.wordpress.com/2009/10/19/elephant-plains-lion-on-the-rise/ |
