First thing yesterday we headed back to the lions assuming they would still be finishing off their wildebeest kill. The night before I had asked Jarine, the ranger, whether - looking rather full already - the lions would wait until they were really hungry again to kill again. She said that for now they would just stay with this kill and would only kill again if something was stupid enough to walk right in front of them.
Imagine our surprise then when we arrived at the site to find the wildebeest carcass abandoned and the lioness with one of the cubs gnawing away at a new carcass under a bush not 15 yards away from the first while the rest of the pride were nearly comatose under another tree!
Apparently, said second wildebeest had been stupid enough to walk right in front of them!
So there the lions slept all maximally engorged and stuporous like a bunch or Americans on Thanksgiving. I went through the pictures looking for comparison shots but they never stood up to show off their waistlines.
