Subadult lions have fun. Early one morning in Kenya’s Maasai mara we found elements of the breakaway Enkoyanai pride of lions. The subadults were on the move and enjoyed playing with each other as they made their way across the plain. It was fun to watch them chasing each other. Ambushing each other in the bushes also seemed a nice party trick. When subadult lions have fun it makes for a very good start of the day for us.
