More Lions with a Zebra Kill

Category: Mammals, camera-trap | Date: Sep 22 2008 | By: tumaren

Not long after our images of Lolmelil on the zebra killed by the snare it appears that his lionesses made a zebra kill of their own.  This was not far away and we were able to get the following images on the carcass.  You can see the young cubs in the initial images and an adult female with them, in the third.  The adult looked at the camera in this image and the next minute, like with Lolmelil, the camera was on its back taking images of whiskers, eyes and paws (like the last image here). In the morning the camera was found 30 meters away from the kill site, covered in dust and under a bush - These moultrie cameras are definitely tough.
