Recent sighting by Ndolok. A powerful reminder of how life and survival shift with the seasons in the Ngorongoro landscape.These are the Twin Hill Sisters, Nemembai and her sister, seen here with their eight cubs. During the dry months, giraffes make up a large part of lions’ prey in the Ndutu area. When other prey becomes scarce and water is limited, lions often take on these towering giants. Once the rains arrive and the wildebeest return, they quickly become the lion share.📸: @ndolokikoyo #kopelion #lionconservation #corridoroftolerance ... See MoreSee Less
