Lion Dad Watches His Cub
This little cub has a mother, father, and older brother. Africa Hope Fund helps support the Zambia Carnivore Program which tracks carnivores in three locations in Zambia. The knowledge they gain from radio-tracking collars, months spent in the bush, and air patrols from the plane they share with Conservation South Luangwa helps protect all carnivores in the South Luangwa Valley.
While it may be hard to watch this cute cub devour a warthog we saw the same morning trotting along with her wartlets (my term for warthog babies), the balance of natural life in the park is crucial to all wildlife, and research is a key factor in their survival.
