      Lots of patience and lots of luck :) That day, I decided to follow this lion pride only; nothing else. They slept most of the time but I was lucky enough when a group of wildebeest passed nearby and this individual was having a hard time keeping up with the herd. Injured or wounded, I don't know but this was the end... Posted 10 years ago
