Lots of long grass in the image but it is more the interaction and expression on the cubs face that captures the story here... This is most likely the first proper kill for the two 8 month old cubs.What happened was that the mother (Hlaba Nkunzi) managed to subdue the young Bushbuck and left it for her cubs to practice their hunting skills with.
An emotional sight for some but what a priveledge to watch the young cubs development. In this image is the young female cub who dominated the male cub and didn't let him very close to "her catch".
What a great learning opportunity for you to be able follow the cubs development. I think I would have battled with the actual kill a bit but I guess its just nature! Look forward to seeing more images of the cubs growth. Do the cubs have names yet?
