A photographic tribute to Hlaba Nkunzi's 2 female cubs. One of them was tragically killed by a new male (Xinzele) in her territory yesterday.She had just turned 1 year old...maybe a mere 6 months away from independence, Africa can be so harsh!
We are rooting for her and her remaining cub as they try and evade Xinzele who will probably try and find the other cub...
Their first kill, a young bushbuck.
Hours of play, practising hunting skills.
Satisfying their thirst from suite 5 pool.
On the way to a kill with Hlaba Nkunzi
A confident show of teeth, a 1 year old coming of age!

Playing and excitement on the way to a kill
The bush can be a crazy place...is the other cub still alive?
ReplyDeleteThe Richie!! Yeah her the other cub were apparently seen heading east last night...let's hope she hides her well.
