The Up’s & Down’s @ Elephant Plains
August 4, 2009 Elephant Plains Game Lodge has had fantastic month as far as lions are concerned and the lion activity was phenomenal with lions on the move; fighting, protecting and killing. It offered incredible sights. The Stix pride moved the furthest west they have ever been and ended up on the lodge airstrip. The guides couldn’t believe their luck when they left the lodge in the morning and found them chasing a clan of hyenas. Just as they thought things could not get any more interesting, the Tsalala pride showed up and let out an incredible roar that sent the Stix pride running in a northerly direction! A few days later the two Mapogo males arrived at the Serengeti Pan and remained for a couple of days. They would call out for the other males, but with no reply. The last few months the Mapogo’s have not been seen together. The two of them are seen regularly and the big male stays in the west. The other three are believed to be more south. The Tsalala’s still have all six of their cubs and they are all looking great. Unfortunately, the Stix pride lost four of their cubs. The cause of death is uncertain. These Sightings Have been viewed at Elephants Plains Lodge https://lionprides.wordpress.com/2009/08/04/415/ |
