Youngsters from the Kumana Pride chilling on a White Rhino dung midden during a cool day. The dry midden probably made a nice soft bed and retained some heat.
The young male on the left of the image had some real character and gave us all a dirty look for interrupting his comfy nap! photo credits. Dave Pusey KNP October 2020

The 5th Mpondo male A pride of Lions on a giraffe kill along the S23. After sitting with them for a while, a female and massive male crossed the road and then drank a bit. The male then went to the riverbed and the lioness went back to the carcass. When the male crossed initially, he had no blood on him but when he returned he did so there might be another kill in the riverbed. Tinged by Nadav - Latest Sightings The 5th Mpondo male was darted and branded with "U1" on the 19th august 2013 in the lukimbi concession.
