Happy family 4/9/2011

We went to see Evander and Holly again in the morning. Before getting there we found a young male lion going in the same direction, it is the same shy male that roams Sokwe forest by himself. As we reach the girls Evander was feeding but was soon chased off by the male. All the  family had to move a bit... an so had to do all the hyenas that were waiting around. Actually Evander took pleasure to run after a couple of them....When we turned to watch the male he was gone together with the giraffe carcass.. dragmarks clear evidence of where he went. The girls came back and sat within eyesight of the male... full enough not to bother for the stolen meat. Happy family.We went on with our drive, all the way to the confluence and just before getting there we found bushbuck pride on a buffalo kill, one female was eating, all the others were resting in the shade. The lioness even tried to pull the carcass under the acacias but it was way too heavy....In the evening we went back and looked at the same lions eating with the cubs getting in and out the dead cow, great fun.
