We hope you enjoyed the series of short video clips we posted earlier this week, of big cat cubs out and about on Singita’s concessions. Today we have even more for you, in the form of this fabulous series of photos taken by Barry Peiser, Field Guide at Singita Kruger National Park . Here’s Barry with the full story:
If there are two things that rule the internet, they are cats and cute baby animals. Baby cats are therefore bound to be a crowd-pleaser, as these short videos of some of the furry-faced cubs at Singita will show!
These pictures hardly need a caption – we would be surprised if you could tear your eyes away from their little furry faces long enough to read it! If you are interested however, you may like to know that these gorgeous young lions are offspring of the Butamtam pride at Singita Grumeti in Tanzania. These lions are healthy breeders; over the past two years one of the major prides got so big that it split into two, and two of the other prides seem to be heading in the same direction.
You would be forgiven for assuming that lions, the larger and more ferocious cousins of our domestic cats, weren’t big fans of the water. In actual fact, lions are excellent swimmers and although they aren’t prone to daily dips (unlike tigers who use the water to cool down) they will cross a body of water with ease.
