Cecil’s pride update, where is Jericho?
Cecil’s pride originally consisted of 3 Mature females and 8 cubs born to the pride in February 2015 sired by both Cecil and Jericho, however there currently remain 6 cubs and two mature Lioness. It appears the third Lioness is no longer with the pride.
She has disappeared the circumstances unclear.
They are situated between the area of Kennedy 2 and Mbiza within the eastern boundary of Hwange National Park. Although they are constantly on the move they still infrequently present regular photographic opportunity.
Despite the missing third Lioness, all six cubs are in fantastic condition.
Jericho, unable to hold the territory moved north abandoning the pride and has settled around Kennedy 1 and the area of The Hide Safari Camp and is seen on a regular basis.
He has within the territory he currently holds three Lioness, a collared Lioness named Cathy and her two nieces.
Here Cathy feeding on a young elephant they had just killed. This is a typical behavior of  Lions in the height of the dry season In Hwange.
The Lion in Hwange, from September will prey on the elephant in their weakened state.
This juvenile had been abandoned by the herd.
The abandoned elephant calf.
In the October heat, the elephant suffer badly the affects of dehydration. This cow lay here never to rise again.
An average elephant drinks in excess of 100 litres a day, the big bulls 227 litres a day. some of the waterholes are seeing more than 1000 elephant a day.
The buffalo and other wildlife have a hard time accessing water. This bull rather curious and thirsty came to check us out.
