    This old lion was doing his thing next to the road in the Kruger Park -- later, it became obvious he had lost an eye, and was lame in a hind leg.... Nevertheless, he does seem to be enjoying himself, doesnt he?

    It's sad that he was blind in one eye and limping! I don't know what it is about Kruger, but I saw a number of sick lions there. There was one pride of two - three lionesses and a few cubs. They were all so lean, with their bones sticking out. We were told by the guide that they were probably suffering from tuberculosis! The next day we saw two big males, one of whom had a wire snare around his neck, and our guide said that the wildlife service would be contacted to sedate the lion to remove the snare.

    A flat lion doing "something":). Sad about his condition, though.
