THIRD LION GROUP:
5 Lions resting at the 14th borehole. One female is walking across for a drink. Just out of shot to the right were two Gemsbok, clearly wanting to drink. They had been advancing cautiously towards the water when the lioness rose from her shady spot under the tree and walked over to drink. THe gemsbok stopped, but did not retreat. By the tine we left they were still standing in the same spot, trying to summon up the courage to move in for a drink. |
