I guess you can tell how hot it was. Three more lions were laying in the shade of our car and here is one of them.

The Closest I've Been To A Lion

It was really hot! Three lions came to rest in the shadow of our jeep. I could have touched this one if I have stretched my arm through the window. :-)

The Thief

The prey, an impala, was actually caught by the mother cheetah I posted a few days ago.
This lion we were watching was attracted by the screaming of the antelope and immediatly started walking towards the place of the hunt.
We followed the guy and saw the cheetah first, so we parked the jeep between both cats but, of course, the lion was not intimidated by our presence and stoled the prey at once.
