Lions in the Masai Mara

Early one morning in the Masai Mara we came across a pride of lions having breakfast. I'm not sure what animal it was but they'd killed it a short time before we arrived.



We watched intently, taking lots of photos. A few minutes later we spotted a male lion approaching slowly from the other side.




We weren't the only ones to notice, some of the lions stopped eating and started starting at the approaching lion.




A few more lions scattered as he approached leaving only a small group finishing their breakfast.




The male lion approached slowly. Check out the hot air balloons in the background.




With one powerful roar the male lion dispersed all of the lions. You'll need to click on the photo to see a bigger size in order to see the expressions on the lions faces.




The male lion dragged the caracas away and started eating while the rest of the lions looked on from a distance.




Then a jackal and a hyena started approaching slowly. You can vaguely see them in the photo below.




They slowly went to the original kill site to join the vultures and started eating the scraps.
