Echoes in the Forest - 10:35 pm
26 Jan 2010
The Xakanaxa lions were still in the Mopane and had not moved very far during the night.
The male who was absent yesterday had rejoined and the prides alliance seems stronger than ever.
A herd of impala was moving towards their position, but it was only the female cub who showed interest while the others slept.
She eventually lost patience and charged at the impala way too early and never stood any chance of catching them.
It was late afternoon before the lions became active. They were all very vocal.
Last week the interloper lions were in the same area and the pride had probably picked up their scent. The roaring was to establish their dominance and served to chase the interlopers, from their territory, without confrontation. It was amusing to hear the youngest male cub joining in the roaring. It was as though he was still half asleep and was unsure if he should roar or yawn.
