A mammoth effort from one of our coalition male Lions – Shadow, has managed to bring down a huge Eland bull.
He has been on the kill for the last few days with hundreds of kilograms of meat at his paws. We estimate shadow to be around 220-230kg’s but that is tiny compared to the possible 700 – 800 Kg Eland bull in picture. We cannot imagine he can eat anymore without his stomach bursting, but tonight he gave it five minutes.
It was a nice change to see him active instead of sleeping with a full tummy. He has done well to keep other scavengers off so far to have this feast all to himself – we wonder for how long…

Hi
Have just watched ‘Into the Pride’ and wondering if there is a follow up story of the pride, information about current pride members etc? Obviously some would have died. You had to admire the dominant lioness Cleo. As great as lions are Cheetahs are my favourite of the big cats, what a tough life they have.

I was wondering the same thing. I see on the blog that there seems to be new dominant males. Just wondering what happened to the pride members from “Into the Pride”.
