Kilimanjaro Lion Conservation Project

This morning we found some of the collared lions, specifically Nemasi (hiding on a hill somewhere) and Kasaiyo. Kasaiyo was with some of his pride, and we caught a glimpse of them.

Here is what we had to drive through to get to them. Every tree is covered in very antisocial thorns, and highly agressive ants that drop onto animals / people / vehicles that brush the trees. And bite.

Here is one of the youngsters. I might be able to use this photo for my ID files later, as you can see the whisker spots quite clearly.

This is a short post. More later….

Technorati : acacia trees, hot panting cats, lions, more thorns, thorns
