Reporting Date: 09.01.2013
Lion always have a problem bringing up their cubs as they are venerable to hyenas and leopards. Elephants and Buffalos will not spare them either. This makes the lioness very nervous, prompting it to move them from one den to the other in search of a thicker bush.
As Simon was doing his full day game drive came across a lioness with its cub on the month moving it to a better place. After it realized it was being watched turned direction to confuse Simon and his guest not to know where the rest of the cubs were.
