Lions Eat Another Cow

Category: Mammals | Date: Nov 04 2006 | By: tumaren

One of our neighbors large bulls was killed and eaten on our property several days ago. It appears to have been doing a little secret grazing in the evening when the lion got it. This is the third lion loss for this particular neighbor in the past 4 months. We have notified the Laikipia Predator Project but should readers here like to read more about an excellent organization that works to mitigate lion / livestock problems go to:

One Response to “Lions Eat Another Cow”

The lion in Laikipia seem to be getting braver and we are hearing them roaring most nights now. Before they would keep quiet and travel through the area silently. On 7th February we saw a lioness with two three month old cubs. There was a male lion with them. Because the babies were so young they could not move off fast and the guests got to see them very well.
