Reporting Date: 13.10.2012
The four male lions found along the Talek river have dominated this territory for over two years now.The males move along very well and the only differences arises when a female is on heat and chooses one of the dudes for copulation. This was a case when Daniel and the four guest on full day game drive came across the coaliation that had a battle probably that morning as one of them had blood stains allover the mane through to the chest.This was aresult of a fight to win a female that was only a few meters away from the three boys and next to her was the fourth brother. The injury was close to the left eye ball and at first Daniel and the guests got worried that he had lost the eye ball to realise shortly that it was ok.
