Maybe that was a Christmas special.  What a gift the buff gave these two prides so that they could come together to feed in peace.

The lodge called them something else but in Djuma they reported this: 25 December AM -Lions 2 males and 2 females (Buffelshoek Pride) killed an adult female Buffalo on Nkorho clearing, they were feeding when 3 other lions 1 male and 2 females moved in and started feeding together on the kill without any aggression. It is the second time this has been witnessed between those two prides.

That is interesting reading.  I would love to know who both prides were too.

Nkorho might be setting up for a repeat of last Christmas with the buff kill. Wonder how far behind that herd of buffs the lions are? Sad

I hope he becomes our resident Leopard.  I was surprised by how long the buffalo are staying around at NK.  Maybe we now have resident buffs.

Yep Lea, he has a definite slice in his left ear. He's a pretty fella. Kind of elusive. He use to be around Nkorho last year quite often but we never got a confirmed ID on him when we saw leopards on the cam.

Karen & Aquila I noticed from Newington's pic that he can be ID by the scar on his nose.  There is also something about his left ear that does not look right.
