4 Face – 4 Activities

These are four faces of Lions performing four different activities. Do you know what they are doing?

Nine times magnificence

I took this picture this evening with a very long lens at failing light. The image quality is not great, but the subject is.

Nine most impressive Kudu bulls at the edge of the savanna!

Mating and Roaring

After a mating session this morning some of our Lions gave a short roaring concert at Thanda Safari.

Using the carnassials!

This Lioness was using her carnassials to cut pieces out of her Zebra kill. As she did so she kept an eye on us watching her.

Keep an eye on danger!

Sometimes herbivores rather keep an eye on carnivores than running away from them. This evening a dazzle of Burchell’s Zebras were keeping an eye on our two dominant male Lions for quite a while before moving off in the opposite directions.

The Zebras never came close enough to trigger the Lions’ hunting/killing instinct, and as these larger cats were still full from a recent kill they were putting no effort into active hunting at this time.
