African Lions

The lion is the largest African predator, with males weighing over 500 pounds. Females are in the 350 pound range. Only the male is maned. The lion is the most social of cats with prides ranging from 3 to 30 individuals, normally with a dominant male and female. The dominant male will drive away his male offspring as they grow and he perceives them as a threat. Lions tend to be active at night, mainly near sunrise and sunset. All of the lions in this section were photographed in southern Africa in the Kruger Park South Africa, the Sabie Sands Reserve South Africa, the Etosha Park Namibia and the Kalahari park which straddles the South African and Botswanan border.

Sorry about the video being over exposed, but I thought you might find interesting how the Hyena get their wooping to resonate. The scene is just outside the Satara rest camp in Kruger Park South Africa. Out room is about 150 yards from the scene. The kill woke us up at about 2AM. Sounded like they were just outside the room. First the roaring of the lions and then the Hyena. you can see the fence and rooms at various times at the top of the video. Our room was about 25 yards inside the fence facing the action. I have a bunch of other short clips if anyone finds this interesting let me know and I'll add them to the site. By the way there is a very cute one of a baby elephant in the African elephant folder.
