Kings feasting on a zebra
On a full day game drive on the Lamai plains, ranger Jaffery and his guests found some two male lions feasting on a young zebra which had been killed with the help of some lionesses from their pride. At first they were sharing the meal peacefully when it was still big, but eventually, one took off with the remaining portion onto a shady spot under a tree to finish it up. This is a behavior which normally happens when the meal is not big enough for a pride forcing them to hunt again.
