We learned a lot about lions. The female lions hunt and bring food to the pride’s male lion. Young male lions are cast out at an early age and have to hunt for themselves until they are ready to challenge the pride’s male lion. The lions at Masai Mara basically ignored the Range Rovers. The lions would lie on the ground, sleep, and generally seem disinterested in any activity going on.
After watching a group of female lions for a while, one of them got up and slowly started walking away. A few moments later another lion got up and walked away. Within just a few minutes all of the lions were up and walking away. Then we realized what had happened. A lone wildebeest was near. The lions were slowing making their way in a spread pattern toward the wildebeest. They stalked the wildebeest and then were spotted, unfortunately for the lions. The wildebeest bolted and lived to see another day. Watching the lions hunt was amazing.
