Reporting Date: 28.10.2012
Japeth and his guests came across two lionesses feeding on a wildebeest carcass in the middle of a grassy plain as they were driving towards mara river. Japeth and his guests took time and watched them feed and after having their fill one of lioness started dragging the remaining carcass to some near-by bushes but it seemed too heavy for her cause she kept putting it down after a short distance.
Lions tend to hide their prey under thickets so as to avoid attracting unwanted attention from hyenas and vultures.
