A pride of lions had been seen to kill eleven zebras within 48 hours. They were all lying about, well-sated. A very small Zebra foal wandered away from its mother just in front of the Lion, and, unusually, he killed it - too easy to resist. For a long time, none of the Lions was interested, but just before we came on the scene, this Lioness came over towards it. At first, she just sat with it, then she seemed to be licking it for a while, before she started to eat it - not very hungrily.
Of course, this happened under a bush, and no matter how we tried, we couldn't get a view completely clear of the long oat grasses, whic create the 'haze' at the front of the images. |
