Lions Watching Prey, No. 5
Two lions grown very intent, intense and watchful as prey comes to the waterhole. Others in the pride look on.. Series description: A whole pride of lions were hanging out by the Sueda waterhole, including cubs. The lions moved away from the waterhole, and most were resting between two banks of rocks that were between 8-10 feet high and partially hidden from the waterhole. There was a cub and a male adult that were in the open but lying down in tall grass. One restless and charismatic cub was in the mood to play, first trying with a sibling, then with the male lion, and then its mother and finally still trying to get attention by hiding and peeking out between the bank of rock nearest the waterhole. He finally went to lie on top of the rock like the Lion King. Suddenly something caught the attention of the mother and another female, and they both rose up and grew alert. Groups of Springbok were heading to the waterhole to drink. They didn’t notice the lions, and though the two female lions were in stalking mode, they weren’t moving. The Springbok were on the opposite side of the water hole and they are very fast, so they may have been waiting for other prey that were also headed down to the waterhole to drink, including an Oryx and an Hartebeest. Unfortunately one Springbok caught sight of the naughty lion cub atop the rock. The animals on their way down towards the waterhole paused and also grew alert. Some started to retreat, and the opportunity was missed for the lions, who then resumed a relaxed mode.
