This lioness and her 3 cubs had moved into the area. We were drifting down the river and saw her in the shade of a tree. Lots of animals were coming to the water to drink. Most saw the lioness... but a family of warthogs didn't. She took a young one and the rest fled. The kill happened behind the tree so it wasn't visible. The birds got startled and looked up to see what happened.
Happy New Year 2010!
