The Charleston Males

[Ngala]

From Umkumbe Safari Lodge, 06 May 2016:
"Remember our previous post about the Talamati males killing two zebra in one weekend and the sneaky Charleston boys dining out on the kill? Well, Marius managed to photograph the Charleston Lion Pride snacking on the morsels from the Talamati kill. One of the Charleston males is instantly recognisable with that dodgy tooth of his! Thanks Marius Zeilinga for capturing a few big cat memories."

"A beautiful portrait of the Charleston male with the dodgy tooth! This big boy still manages to eat successfully and has adapted to his disability."

"Slowly creeping towards the kill site where the Talamati males killed two zebra. When we returned the following morning after their evening feast, we expected to see them with their kill. Instead we saw the Charleston boys! They decided to scent mark nearly every bush in their path - clearly they wanted to show that they're the dominant ones!"
