Art and his wife stayed with us for 8 nights, and they saw more than one spectacular thing!
He sent through these pics he took during one of the safaris on our game reserve: a lioness munching away at a (very!) recent kill: a zebra.
It had been a terrible day for this zebra, obviously, but the lions were enjoying it. This is a very tasty and rare meal indeed! Art managed to take this great up close shot of what was going on, as well as the other lionesses nearby. It’s amazing how fast nature’s instincts take over, all these lions were very young and quite inexperienced a few years back, and they now hunt anything, even giraffes, which is quite a rare thing to do for a smaller pride of lions.
I am not sure why, I cannot help posting all these grizzly photos, but while nature seems brutal (well, it is!), I must say that it is a deeply humbling experience to see wild nature taking its natural course of things. It makes us realize that the human kind really lives far outside of the usual reality, and witnessing this really runs home that point. We are a lucky bunch on this planet!
