That is ten lions for Mountain Zebra... and Addo gets to have only seven now
But what a sighting. Well, actually both of them. The blackie to start the day off with and
then that pride. Probably the good thing about a small park - you often get all the inhabiting lions
in one go.
But I'm sure the cubs will be relocated at some point...

Wow - a traditional functional lion pride
Love your sightings.
Thanks Klipspringer
Yep, his black mane really helped for spotting

Wow a black rhino and then the pride of lions
It was a great send-off Alf
Yeah there is a story there somewhere but that was for Addo. The original males in MZNP weren't Kalahari black-maned lions, so I'm not sure what the thinking was when they were originally introduced
Thank you Pumbaa - they were great at blending in to their surroundings

It's very frustrating knowing how depleted Addo is on lion at the moment... all as a result of finances as far as I can tell.
There are apparently over 20 lion in MZNP at the moment. I'm sure the youngsters will have to be moved at some stage

Superb, Peej!
They do blend in well there, and look nice and "clean" with fewer parasites and flies etc!
The young males are going to get kicked out by the boss at some stage...
