Stop taking about my stomach

You got better pics of the ellie scrapping

Amazing that the mongoose cooled off in the road like that while you took pics

Love the mongoose close-up and the ellie show

Hi everyone,

Sorry I haven't been around but I've been so busy with cycle tests, projects and school camps!

Here are some of my pics from our morning drive.

B.B..

Glad to hear that your priorities are correct.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks for sharing these stunning photos . We love the lion close ups.

[Bushcraft]

Great stuff BB

[Tina]

great sightings again

It must have been interesting to watch the lions rolling in the poo

[Amoli]

Wonderful sightings you had

[Richprins]

Very good quality pics all round!

Ja, RP can be a bit irritating...many years now, Lis!


I can just add it was absolutely wonderful meeting everyone, and Flutts' salad was brilliant!


Mommo was in fine fettle when he arrived at the meet...so not sure what he was up to during your afternoon drive, but obviously an experienced socialite, experience counts, end of story!


This thing with the lions rolling in the dung is interesting.

It is highly unusual to see a male with a couple of females and teenager kids. Not an established "pride", I think..some sort of breakeaway?

That area is absolutely infested with lion, third only to Satara and Croc Bridge sections. So some shenanigans going on.?

Great cats often roll around in the poo of other great cats, or anything related to them, territorially speaking,to hide or dominate scent.

Lion are robotically methodical and operate virtually entirely on instinct, so if wires get crossed they revert to what seems best in the circumstances?

The Brat thanks all of you for your lovely comments.

Great info RP.
