Birds confuse pride and cubs discover a monitor lizard - Lions of Moremi Highlights 17

Visit http://www.earth-touch.com/ for a closer look at the wonders of the natural world.

A frenzy of vulture activity confuses the pride as they search expectantly for a carcass to scavenge. Later, the lions head towards a baobab tree after a restful night.

A monitor lizard wanders into the pride's territory and is eyed cautiously by the cubs.

Excellent material, specially the knowledgeable comments of the ranger. It is truly like being there!

Exquisite footage of majestic creatures simply lazing around. After several reviews, I think the formerly injured male cub was the one who walked across the 3 lazing ones & hudging his way toward the big lizard. The cubs look a picture of health, thanks to their incredible moms & aunts. It's endearing to see them playing with their dad, for, soon, the male cubs will have to make their own ways in the world, which is crowder & smaller than what their parents were used to know, alas!

It's good to see that the cubs were all smooth, healthy looking. Most are almost as big as their mothers & aunts. I tried to look for the bigger male cub which got a nasty injury to his left upper chest, just below the arm, 2 episodes ago but healed into just a small black patch last episode, the cub who spent a minute trying to identify his pride, before running to greet it... He had the longest amateur male scruff on him, & would be a beautiful, flowing mane when fully grown in 4-5 years...
