Reporting Date: 13.01.2013
It was very hot in the afternoon and Simon was about to set lunch for his guests under the Acacia tree, when he saw lions a kilometer away. They decided to drive near them only to find Old lioness being trailed by a pride of lion, as it was an intruder. Sudenly they heard a loud groaning sound which was scary and the poor lioness was in the middle covered by the entire pride. Although later it managed to escape the damage was already done and its body covered with blood.As the pride was still following it behind Simon guests told him to drive away as they could not stand seeing the poor lioness being subjected to more pains.later they came across cubs playing under the close supervision of their mothers .It was sweet to watch as they play.
When a lion is injured and it’s alone like this one its chances of survival are reduced tremendously as it cannot hunt properly leading to its death due to hunger.
