Lion Fight

These incredible images of a major lion turf war have been taken by the team in the Serengeti and come with the fantastic announcement that the long running Serengeti Lion Project is back up and running.
Although the camera-trap aspect of the project has continued without pause, the main work of the Serengeti Lion project has been on hiatus for the past few years. Now, it is finally being restored and the priority is to sort out who’s who in all the study area prides. Comparing existing id’s and adding new ones is going to take some time.
Looks like these boys are trying to shake up the genes even more. Two coalitions both looking strong have clashed over ownership of prime real estate. The team report that all the males involved looked strong and healthy so this is probably not the definitive battle.
We will have more news for you soon on how the work is going as well as reports from the field, so stay tuned. Meanwhile enjoy these stunning images.

It’s great that the Serengeti Lion Project was reinstated. And the slide show photos are spectacular, Lucy. Thanks to both you and Edward Lopatto.
Omg, I’m very happy to hear this news. Finally after these last few years of hault. But I’m still sad somewhat knowing C boy passed away earlier this year and can’t be included. Anyway WOW. Thanks you for this post..
