This lioness seemed to be deliberately messing with two jackals that wanted in on her wildebeest kill. She just wouldn’t give it up, eating every bit of fur and bone possible. The jackals tried their best to annoy her as they continued to circle, yapping away and even nipping at the lion’s tail. The lion was having none of it, refusing to be bothered. Eventually, the ordinarily patient jackals took off, probably convinced that there was nothing left to eat. As soon as they were gone, the lion got up and walked away, leaving what little was left of the kill to the vultures. I’m off for the next week and think that this might be the last post of the year. If so, happy holidays, and stay tuned for more from Kenya in a week or so.
