The Nduna pride are back together.
Resting in the Mahande river all day some of the lions looked like they had fed last night. It seemed to be the lions that were ‘lost’ yesterday and their mother. Had she possibly gone back last night to look for her youngsters and hunted successfully on the way? And then all returned back to the rest of the pride?
They looked set for some serious hunting as they left the riverbed at dusk all sharpening their claws for some real action. They have their favourite species of trees for sharpening claws. And at the same time this is leaving their scent, another way of staking ones territory.
And although the males hung back initially when the females headed out, they were soon on their trail/tail.

Maybe it was the music, but I swear I envisioned a scene from “West Side Story” when the gangs, the Jets and the Sharks, were getting ready to rumble! The pride seemed so much to be preparing for a concentrated effort — well except for a few of the “boys,” and I’ll leave that subject alone!
At the risk of boring you and everyone else, I say again, I am awed by your photography and grateful for this opportunity to get closer to the wild than I have ever been — even when I went fishing with my dad, and he made me carry the can of worms through a field of buffalo (South Dakota a long time ago)
Hi loved it keep them coming
What’s great about what I’m doing on Wildcast is I’m able to show animals for what they really are. We all know lions sleep 20 hours a day. But we’re never allowed to show this in our films, ‘cos it’s boring?
I have to laugh every time I see the lion pride “in action”. They are the most lethargic group of animals ever and they wake up as slowly as I do! It seems only serious hunger is enough to stimulate them to get up and move.
