Lionesses blocking Serengeti path We were destined to cross this little stream, but it looked like we weren't getting anywhere for a while. That's OK though, this is obviously where we came for. The left lioness is the dominant one, feeding on a Warthog head. The other 2 are just pretending to be interested in drinking, they really want the head.
