This lion could have killed his springbok anywhere,
but for our benefit he did it within 30 feet of the
road to which we were bound in the game parks. That,
and a 300 mm zoom lens, gave me a unique chance to catch
the gore in all its glory.
He's almost certainly a bachelor male, on his own for
the rest of his life, either because he failed to
dominate his way to alpha status in a pride or was
deposed by a challenger. Because if he belonged to a
pride, he wouldn't be hunting; that's a lioness' job.
Also - he ate the whole damn thing, starting from the
rear. Bones, green innards, head and all. Yuck. And
it crunched a lot.
