Lioness chewing on Warthog Head under tree in Central Serengeti This was one of our most interesting big cat spottings, so I will share the behavior of this one in detail across various shots. By chance we found this Lioness quietly chewing on something which later on turned out to be a warthog head. There are two other lionesses nearby.
