A few months ago we noticed that the two lion “cubs” were spending more and more time apart from their parents, and that they had become quite proficient hunters.
Well, for the last weeks, the two young girls have split from the pride (for now) and are spending their days together, but away from the rest.
This is typical if it was male lions, but a little more unusual given that both are female. That said, maybe they are annoyed by the male’s constant urges, so they prefer to spend time together on their own.
Mike and his guests saw them hanging out together 3 days ago. They seemed to have made a recent kill, and they took a keen interest in vultures circling around.
I was astonished to see how large and pretty these two lionesses have turned, and it will be interesting how the relationship between them and the pride evolves in the future.
For now, they are doing very well, feeding well, making lots of successful kills (daddy taught them well), and enjoying their time together. As one can imagine, as they grew up together, they are very, very close.
