Lions of Timbavati

[Potato]

Tanda Tula update

The lions were hit or miss this past week with the Mayambula pride once again walking large distances on a daily basis, and their movements became more erratic after the pride split during the course of the week.  We found six lionesses and the two Skorro males close to a buffalo herd one morning, but when evening came, rather than pursuing the nearby buffalo, the pride walked off in a completely different direction.  The rain that night made tracking them down the next day more challenging, but after breakfast the trackers located on four lionesses, but goodness knows where the rest of the pride got to.  A few days later the two males returned to the area but other than a few tracks, there were not many further signs of them.  The two young members of the Sark breakaways were found fat bellied near a dry Reflection Dam one morning, and spent 36 hours sleeping in the same spot – not because they were lazy but rather due to their enormous bellies.
