" to one of the more memorable sightings from my recent trip to the Sabi Sands with @safaritrue . .
We were out on drive with @dulinilodge, and we found two very sleepy and lazy male lions from the Majingilane coalition. There were fast asleep under a tree and they were showing now signs of moving. As a vehicle we debated whether or not we should move on, or wait it out until after sunset, and see if these big guys would get up. In the end we decided to give it another 10 minutes.
.
Just as we were getting ready to pull out of the sleepy sighting, behind us, through a thicket, a pack of wild dogs began vocalizing and making sounds like they had just made a kill. Immediately, the two fast asleep lions were on the feet and their ears alert. Before we could get the vehicle started, the lions were already running through the thicket scattering the wild dogs.
.
When we managed to navigate through the thicket and make it to the other side, the male lions had claimed the wild dogs impala kill, and the dogs we're probably half way to the Kruger National Park! It's a harsh reality for the wild dogs, but lions are definitely on top of the food chain.# Reply
