Maasai Mara Safaris on 20th of December 2012

Game viewing in the Mara with lions is always a fascinating  behaviour to study,on the 20th of December 2012,we came a cross a young male lion of about 2 years that he was living on their own with his brother,in the Lion kingdom when the pride is taken over by new male lions,the young cubs would either be killed or their mum will run away with them and this was the case with the boys above.....When marsh pride of lion was taken over by the 4 muskateers,their mother moved them away to safety and when it was time to be on their own they came close to the core of the pride and one was killed by the new dominant males of the pride.Great to see they had just taken their breakfast and one was going for a drink...Near the same area we spotted a lioness who was following the pride members who they were coming back from the Night hunting.
Down to Marshpride the four boys were wel fed,and they were sleeping by their kill.I reckoned  this was their second or third kill the same night for they had partially eaten it,and if they were hungry one whole zebra would not last longer for 4 male lions,too alot of vultures were seen scavenging on some fresh abandoned carcasses.The  pride's cubs who are also the first cubs for the new pride holders were very healthy.It was very charming to see them cute-playing with the old Wildbeest skull.
The rare Black Rhino with some Giraffes made our afternoon trip to paradise plains....The Rhinos are very much territorial in Mara and you would see the same individuals in the same area very often,although they are few which translates to one owning big territory/home range.
Not a good capture of the sunset with the Grey Crowned Crane when we were driving back to the camp,But it was good capture and i remember my guests getting the best photos.The cranes were having their last hour of their busy day feeding before they go spending their night together on a tree.They are known to work and live as a pair.
