2 Month Old

During yesterday morning’s game drive we spotted the newest additions to the Thanda South Pride of Lions (seen for the first time, ever). The mother must have introduced the two cubs (+/- 2 month old) very recently to the Pride. The two youngster were very shy at their first vehicle encounter and went into thick bush to wait for the ‘large unknown animal’ to disappear. I was able to take two images before they moved off. Very soon they will get used to the vehicles, observing their mum’s reaction – or lack thereof – to our game viewers. I am sure there will be great sightings to come!

CAPTIVE and WILD

Captive and Wild – Lion Cubs

I was preparing this collage for one of my PowerPoint presentations and I thought I share it with all of you.  It is not easy to identify which of the pictures was taken in the wild and which was taken in captivity. Have a guess yourself. I will publish the correct answer with next week’s Picture of the Week!

I will give my CAPTIVE and WILD Presentation three times in February. You are welcome if you like to come to any of the events.
