Now that the wildebeest have gone back to the Serengeti life has become tough for the lions. Lions are working extra hard to find prey and when they get lucky in making a kill they make sure nothing is left.
Today while on game-drive Martin and his guests came across a pride of lions feeding on a coke's hartebeest carcass. Normally lions would not eat all the hard bones but to Martin and his guests suprise they watched a lioness chew on the bones. It was as though she was still hungry but didnt have a choice. She also got very agressive whenever any other lion tried to get close.
