The six nomadic young males & two new big males..!!! Photo credits: Governors Camp Photographer: Moses Manduku
The six nomadic young male lions killed a buffalo close to Governors Private Camp over the weekend. There was such a lot of noise that night from the marauding hyena trying to get in on the meal that this attracted the attention of two big maned lions from across the river. These two swam across the river and chased the six young males off the kill and stole it for themselves. The six young ones could have overcome these two males by their sheer number advantage but they were young, inexperienced and intimidated and could only turn tail and flee, leaving the two males to get a belly full of buffalo. By the next day the males were full and the hyena and vultures moved in, cleaning up every last scrap. Photos are courtesy of Moses Manduku, Governors Camp Head Driver - Guide.
