Lake Masek Game Drive 10 - Our last glimpse of the abandoned baby lion cub

Our last glimpses of the abandoned baby lion cub
 We have always known about Survival of the fittest and the laws of nature in the wild.  But this was an unbelievable example. Our guide did not think that this baby's mother was a part of this pride.  Frequently the other lioness in the pride will help care for the babies.  Or perhaps this baby was ill.  We will never know why - but we were really sad to drive away and leave this helpless baby along on the plains.

The older the giraffe - the darker the coat.  This giraffe's coat is almost black

The two males from the pride have just moved into a shaded area of the scrub of the plain



The alpha male


An amazing up close photo of the younger male
