Lioness

Date 30 Mar 2009
categories: mkomazi, wildlife

We spotted a lioness the other night, something that we haven't seen for a long time. We have seen a disastrous reduction in the lion population over the past 10 years here in Mkomazi. Poaching was a factor, to supply the trade in lions' teeth, claws and skin. Poisoning is another major factor in their decline, significantly as a result of their encroachment on domestic stock herds.
