Lion cubs loll on a termite mound in the Serengeti after a rainstorm.
The rains had fallen and the earth smelled heavy. As sun sank over the Serengeti, the light came flat and thick and right. We drove back toward the camp. The truck stopped and the engine coughed and died and then there was only the sound of the dripping bush. We sat quietly and watched the lion cubs on the termite mound. They were small, the sky was huge, but the world was theirs. One cub cuffed another, then they both looked out, waiting for the mother to come back from the killing.
Lions are amazing creatures, but not without their problems. Check out our “The Kings and Their Tormentors: A Serengeti Story.”
