Even though the end of summer is in sight and the flood waters are arriving, One-Eye and the rest of the Shinde pride are permanently residing on the northern area of the concession. Four lionesses (new arrivals to the area) have been more and more successful in their hunting, often killing several times a day.
One such incident happened at the famous Killing Fields when a sounder of warthogs were grubbing peacefully early in the afternoon, completely unaware of the impending danger in the grass. The lionesses had killed a lechwe that morning and quickly closed in on the warthog. The lionesses pounced on a young warthog and when the mother attempted to rescue her offspring, the lionesses turned on her killing both female and young.
At some point during all the commotion, a male lion arrived with a definite goal on claiming his share of the feast. Initially he was fended off by the females; however he returned later forcing the females to give up their prey. Having lost their meal the females were again hunting less than an hour later.
