A Lion Kill



This is what awaited us. We were so lucky to witness it. The carcass was probably a day or less than a day old. A young wildebeest (gnu), I think. We drove our car quite close, maybe 10 meters away. The lions weren't too bothered. Here a young male lion found a piece of a lung that his companions had overlooked. This picture, like the picture of the dead rain-deer carcass from some weeks ago, is definitely worth clicking. The flies/maggots near the rear end are a (less than pretty) sight.

I think this would be FASCINATING to see in person.
Thanks for the picture!
