Four impressive male lions. Early in the morning four fabulous male Lions were resting in the long grass when a herd of Cape Buffalo emerged from bushes behind them. There were too many buffalo for this to be a hunting opportunity so the lions moved on and out of the way of the Buffalo. They were followed by two jackals which were clearly hoping that the lions would make a kill and there would be an opportunity for some scavenging. The early morning light was glorious as the lions went on their way in search of a suitable place to spend the day in the shade and to snooze peacefully. They soon found a dense bushy area and disappeared from view. Watching these four impressive male lions in such good light was a real treat in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tanzania.
